\t\t\t\tHello again! I decided to stop making programming tutorials for a couple of days so in this tutorial you will learn how
\nto set up NAT Routing on Windows XP. Some of you know that some time ago I was working on a project in Visual Basic 6
\nthat would do this thing. So, in Windows there is a tool that is used to manage network stuff like setting IP Addresses,
\nset up routing etc. This tool\u2019s name is netsh (short for network shell). Using netsh you will need 2 NICs (Network
\nInterface Cards), one to connect to the public network(to the Internet) and the other to connect to the private
\nnetwork(to other computers in LAN). So the network schema will look like this:<\/p>\n
As we see, the machine that has 2 NICs will have routing enabled and will be the other client\u2019s gateway. The clients
\nwill connect to their gateway through a switch(if there will be only one client you can use a cross-over cable from
\ngateway\u2019s private NIC to clients NIC).<\/p>\n
Now HOW TO INSTALL IT?
\nFirst we open the Control Panel. If you are using the \u201cCategory View\u201d to view icons first go to \u201cPerformance and
\nMaintenance\u201d and then \u201cAdministrative Tools\u201d otherwise go straight to the \u201cAdministrative Tools\u201d then open
\n\u201cServices\u201d. On the list find \u201cRouting and Remote Access\u201d, double click on it and set the Startup type to
\n\u201cAutomatic\u201d and click OK. Close the Services window and open the registry editor by going to Start > Run\u2026 and
\ntyping \u201cregedit\u201d without the \u201c \u201d. Click OK and in the window expand to the following path: My Computer >
\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > Tcpip > Parameters. Now in the list you will see something
\nlike \u201cIPEnableRouter\u201d. Double click on it and turn the value from 0 to 1. Now restart your computer.<\/p>\n
You must know the names of your adapters you are using. For the tutorial we will use \u201cWireless Network Connection\u201d
\nfor the public NIC and \u201cLocal Area Connection\u201d for the private NIC.<\/p>\n
Now we open the command prompt and type the following command to install NAT:<\/p>\n
Code:<\/p>\n
Now type the next command to add the public interface:<\/p>\n Code:<\/p>\n And the last command to add the private interface:<\/p>\n Code:<\/p>\n …and the installation is done!<\/p>\n What about the client\u2019s IP addresses? Heres an example of an IP configuration:<\/p>\n As you see the public NIC\u2019s IP address on the routing machine is not the same subnet as the private NIC\u2019s IP I hope you will find this thread useful and save some money buying routers. If you want to set up a wireless router then PS: I’m sorry if you don’t like my computers on the schemes, I’ve drawn them in Paint, lol<\/p>\n Best wishes, Hello again!

\nOh yeah! Set an IP to the private NIC of the machine that is doing routing and the clients will use that IP as their
\ndefault gateway. The client\u2019s IP addresses must be the same subnet as the gateways. Your public NIC\u2019s IP doesn\u2019t
\nneed to be changed!<\/p>\n
\naddress. So be careful, the mustn\u2019t be!<\/p>\n
