As Robert pointed out you can enable IP routing in XP (as you could in
NT workstation).
Enabling IP routing doesn't mean that routing just works. All that
setting the switch does is enable IP forwarding. If the router receives a
packet for the "other" subnet it delivers it. The important thing is that
the packet must actually get to the router.
If the two subnets are not connected to any other network, this is
pretty easy. You just make the router the default gateway for both subnets.
If you are using 24 bit netmasks (255.255.255.0) it looks like this
192.168.1.x dg 192.168.1.1
|
192.168.1.1 dg blank
XP router
192.168.2.1 dg blank
|
192.168.2.x dg 192.168.2.1
If one subnet uses some other gateway you need extra routing to get
traffic to the XP router.
