Sorry about that. I forgot about the line wrap.

There is really nothing to do in RRAS except enable LAN routing.

All you need to make it work is set each subnet to use the router as its
default gateway. Traffic which is not local will go to the router by
default and the router has an interface in each subnet to forward it.

Within each subnet, the machines communicate directly using hardware addresses. If the target machine is not in the local subnet the packet is sent to the router which then delivers it directly through the interface matching the target machine's subnet.

I don't know the OP's requirements, but from what has been said in this
thread, it looks like you could help me.

Currently, I have a single subnet (eg. 192.168.0.x) which I'll call LAN1,
and I wish to add 2 more subnets (eg. 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x) which I'll
call LAN2 and LAN3.

This is to allow me to setup a staging environment that duplicates the real
environment (where LAN1, LAN2 and LAN3 make a WAN through IP-VPN).

From what I've read of routing, all I need is a desktop if I want to use IP
Routing only, although I'd rather use RRAS so I can simulate the dial-in VPN
users as well at a later stage.

To accomplish this I would need a server with 3 NIC's. Each one has a fixed
IP for each of the 3 subnets (NIC-LAN1, NIC-LAN2, NIC-LAN3 for examples sake).

Up to this point I think I understand it.

The next part is configuring RRAS so that a desktop in LAN1 can use TS to
connect to a server in LAN2 or LAN3, and that a server in LAN2 or LAN3 can
use TS to connect to a server in LAN3 or LAN2, respectively.

Could one of you networking boffs explain how I need to setup the RRAS?
Either using a wizard, or manually.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
