I'm not sure what this means. You're using XP Pro *as* a broadband
router with software? Or you installed a physical router that you want

You may get more responses if you ask on a non-programming newsgroup,
like:

news://microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
news://microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin
news://microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
news://microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage

(I haven't sampled any of these to see how active or appropriate they
are.)
