Routing and firewall on WinXP

I made my Windows XP route IP traffic by changing the registry key
ipenablerouting to 1 and everything works fine.

Now, does the traffic go through firewalls? I've been testing and it seems
that it doesn't, but I wanted yours opinions too. Is it possible to make the
firewalls filter IP traffic that goes through the computer?

Or is Win 2003 the only solution.

Try IP properties, Advanced, Options tab, TCP/IP Filtering, Properties.

Othewise, use Zone Alarm, Black Ice (or Network Ice I believe they changed
the name to), or any other 3rd party software firewall.

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
