I have a problem:

PC1 Windows XP
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1

PC2 Windows Server 2003
192.168.0.10

Router
192.168.1.10

I would like to make Windows XP route the traffic from Windows Server
to Router.

I have set the registry key
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnableRouter'
to 1.

This is Windows XP's route table:

Why does it not route ?
 
Does your router have a route back to the 192.168.0.0 network via
192.168.1.1?

Also, does your Sever have a default gateway of 192.168.0.1?
 
The obvious thing to do to test whether or not you're XP box is routing is
to put a computer on either side of it with no special route entries and see
if they can ping each other:


Computer A
192.168.0.2/24 G/W 192.168.0.1
|
192.168.0.1/24
XP Router
192.168.1.1/24
|
192.168.1.2/24 G/W 192.168.1.1
Computer B

Then if computer A can ping computer B you're routing and you con go back to
your original configuration and troubleshoot.. If you have an Internet
router that is the default gateway for either computer A or computer B,
you'll either need to add a static route at the computer or, preferably, a
static route on the default gateway router.
