Re: windows 2000/XP ignore icmp routing redirect

I think you are missing a very important part of the tcp/ip networking.
You'll need a router to route between 2 different subnets and if you
firewall will not do that (and is setup as a gateway for your hosts) I don't
get how the ICMP redirect will help you (maybe only if it will send the host
to the proper device that is doing the routing between subnets).

Hello everybody.
This is my network diagram:

+----firewall-router----
|
|
+---internal network 1.1.1.0/24
|
|
+---internal network 172.16.1.0/24

Internal networks 1.1.1.0 & 172.16.1.0 share
the same hub/switch. The firewall has both ip
on its internal NIC: 1.1.1.254 and 172.16.1.254
When I ping from a 172.16.1.0 network host
(172.16.1.16 for example) to 1.1.1.0 (1.1.1.69
for example), the firewall send an icmp routing
redirect, but both windows 2000 and XP ignore
them.
Clues?

EnableICMPRedirect is set to 1
