You can either use Routing and Remote Access,
or

But, how do you propose to use a Windows box with NICs to route "remote
location"/WAN traffic? I don't know of any NICs that's compatible to 'T1
WIC' cards. Unless, of course, "remote location" is not that remote and is
connected via ethernet connection...

Subject: [windows2000] win2k or xp as a temp router ?
My CISCO router went dead on me at a remote location.
I tried to whip up a quick temp. router solution with
a server that already had two nic cards in our
network.
10.0.0.0 , 11.0.0.0
I added a third nic to connect to our 192.168.0.0
network. I addressed all the nic cards and on the
server I was able to ping the 3 networks. But I was
not able to route traffic.
I recall seeing a checkbox in NT that would enable you
to forward ip packets but I couldn't find it in win2k.
I'm assuming in XP it's in the same area.
I think I could had added static routes statements to
the server but I was hoping that I could enable
"routing" on the server till I get me RMA from cisco
next business day.
Anyways, I coax the router back to life so it's ok but
I'm still curious.
thanks all
Mark
