Answer Posted / jitendera kumar sinha

are you asking about how we make widows xp that act as a router then here is the solution

let the scenario is like that
internet
|
|
windows--------switch-ip(192.168.10.1)
|
|
-------switch--ip--10.10.10.1

this is my snario where i am going to say how we make the wnidows xp as a router so that they can comuniacte over two diifrent network
ok
get ready
As an example, let say you have 7 computers and 2 network switches, and need to create 2 networks that can access Internet, so how to do it?? Some more information, one of the computers is equipped with 3 network cards and one of the network cards is connected to cable/DSL modem to access Internet, so this computer will act as a router!

Configure the network cards on the router with following information.

Router (Windows XP Professional)

Network Card A (connect to network A):
IP: 10.10.10.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway (GW): [leave it blank]

Network Card B (connect to network B):
IP: 192.168.20.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway (GW): [leave it blank]

Network Card C (connect to Internet via cable/dsl connection)
This information will be based on the Internet connection service which you have subscribed.
IP: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway (GW): 192.168.1.1

Configure all the computers in network A with following information.

Network A
IP: 10.10.10.2-254
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway (GW): 10.10.10.1

Configure all the computers in network B with following information.

Network B
IP: 192.168.20.2-254
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.20.1

Ok.. Now it’s the time to configure IP forwarding on that router…

Go to Start and click Run…, then type in regedit to run registry editor

Registry editor window will appear. Browse for the following registry key at the left hand side window:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters

Right click IPEnableRouter registry object, and click Modify.

Note: Be extra careful when you deal with registry editor, wrong editing will crash you Windows OS.

The IPEnableRouter window will appear. Type 1 as Value data and click OK.


When I did the test, IP forwarding will only work after rebooting the computer. So don’t forget to do it.

Note: If you feel the above process is too troublesome, advise you to get a wireless router or wired router and set up a simple network. It's much easier

Thank you
