Win2003 Routing not working

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hello,

I'm having a tough time configuring a test router inside my
home network  (I'm doing it for self-learning purposes).

I have an operational network with a hardware router
(one of those D-Link router/switch for home networks),
and my Win2003 machine is connected to that network
as address 192.168.0.3  --- that connection works.

Now, I added a second network card to that machine,
and configured it as 10.0.0.1 without default gateway.

I then connect another machine directly (with a crossover
cable) to this one -- for the other machine, I configured
it as 10.0.0.2 with default gateway 10.0.0.1 and subnet
mask 255.0.0.0

I enabled Routing and Remote Access on my Win2003
machine, which I configured with the Wizard -- I tried two
different configurations:

- Selected "Secure connection between two private networks"
then said NO to demand-dial connections  (didn't work)

- Custom configuration, and checked the "LAN Routing" box.

I started the service, but none of the above works.

The two machines do see each other --- when I sit at the
10.0.0.2 machine and type ping 10.0.0.1, it does respond;
if I type, from the Win2003 machine, ping 10.0.0.2, it does
respond.

But I sit at the 10.0.0.2 machine and type:

ping 192.168.0.1  and it times out  (the requests do get
to the Win2003 machine --- I see them when I open the
appropriate NIC properties dialog --- the "Packets received"
counter increases.

Is it possible that the packets are being routed, but then
192.168.0.1 refuses to respond because the packet comes
from a different private network?

Thanks for any ideas.  This thing is stressing me and I
would love to suceed in this setup.

Brigado,
Zico
