Re: Windows 2000 Server Routing Issues

[Phil Scarratt <fil,AT,draxsen,DOT,com>]

A little more info re your setup would be good....specifically which of 
10.1.1.1|2 is the Win2k end? The route command to execute on the Win2k 
box is :

route add 192.168.20.0 mask 255.255.255.0 LINUX_CIPE_IP

EXAMPLE:
So assuming the following scenario:
Linux:
IPADDR=10.1.1.1
PTPADDR=10.1.1.2
ME=public.ip.address:9876
PEER=192.168.1.23:9876

Win2k:
IPADDR=10.1.1.2
PTPADDR=10.1.1.1
ME=192.168.1.23:9876
PEER=public.ip.address:9876

the route command on Win2k would be
route add 192.168.20.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1

Your win2k route output should then include something like
    10.1.1.0    255.255.255.0    10.1.1.2   10.1.1.2       1
    10.1.1.2  255.255.255.255   127.0.0.1  127.0.0.1       1
192.168.20.0    255.255.255.0    10.1.1.1   10.1.1.2       1
