We have an NT Server set up in a lab, with two network cards in it, trying to figure out what it is exactly that NT does differently when it comes to routing. For one thing, there is something squirrelly about the "IP forwarding" "feature" in NT -- it just doesn't work like you expect a gateway to work. Worse, the implementation in Win95 is slightly different -- for Win95 to use my FreeBSD gateway, I have to define the PPP side IP-address as its gateway...but, the WinNT host insists on using the FBSD ether card address as its gateway. Personally, I suspect that NT tcp/ip is nonstandard. But, I couldn't prove that.
