Does anyone know how to 'enable ip forwarding' in windows 2000 pro.

In win NT I used to be able to go to the 'properties of tcp/ip - routing tab' and select 'Enable ip forwarding' but I don't see this option in 2000 pro.

Is this a server option only ?

And yes I have the routing and ras service enabled.

 
In regedit go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.
Set the value for the IPEnableRouter entry to 1, (or add the entry if it doesn't exist).
