Difference between "IP routing" and "enable the computer as a rout

06-06-2006, 05:32 PM

I am new to the RRAS. I found two options in the RRAS server properties. One
is "enable this computer as a router", the other is "IP routing". Are they
the same?

Thanks in advance.

They are not exactly the same. Routing is a more general term. You can
have routers which route other protocols (like Appletalk or IPX). The IP
routing display in RRAS shows the details of the IP routing config of this
machine. And "enable this computer as a router" in RRAS means enable IP
routing.

"enable this computer as a router" and "IP routing" are two different options
in RRAS. Do they have any slight difference?

Not any more. IP routing is the only sort of routing that RRAS does
since W2k.
