David,
IP Routing is set automatically, and I don't know that you can, or need, to
change it. On my 3 computer LAN, one computer has IP Routing enabled,
presumably because I setup a dialup modem and tested ICS once. It doesn't
affect anything anyway.
For information about LSP / Winsock corruption, including how to fix it, please
read my article! I cite numerous articles in each of my posts, and all of them
are chosen with you in mind. But they're useless if you don't read them, and
the linked articles.
