Hello,

You could still be forwarding TCP/IP in Windows 2000 even without RRAS, check the following MSKB:
HOW TO: Enable TCP/IP Forwarding in Windows 2000 WGID:197
ID: 230082
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=230082

Installing SP3 on Windows 2000 does enable IP routing on a multihomed system.
Check for third party routing software installed on the server(s) that do route broadcast traffic.
Check for tools that came with NIC adapter to see if they include some kind of routing utility.
Also, check the NIC driver configuration too for any advanced feature.
