Welcome to the Windows Routing Information page

Windows is a difficult stability concept and probably should not be used.  Windows routing is a bit harder to control.  There are better, more reliable and cost effective, hardware routers available.  It is difficult to justify this costly operating system in such a simple application.

Windows Routing does not have a routing protocol by default.  It can use the RIP routing protocol with the application of the proper programs.  For more information about the RIP protocol, click here.

Setting up a router in Windows is fairly easy, and can be completed in a few easy steps:

  1. Add the TCP/IP protocol to all of your NICs.
  2. Install the Windows routing service.
  3. Add some IP numbers to the NICs.  Becareful not to add a gateway to any NIC at this time.
  4. Add the gateway to the NIC that will be your default.
  5. Test away!
