I believed that Win9x would not forward packets until I found this:
Start regedit and add the value EnableRouting to the following Windows 95/98 Registry Key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP
You do this as follows:
Select the above key.
Click Edit, New, String Value and name it EnableRouting
That value will then appear in the list of values for the key.
Now double-click the EnableRouting value and change it to 1.
Exit regedit.
It is crucial that you have an updated vip.386 driver installed on your machine. The driver is available from Microsoft as part
of the Windows DUN 1.2 (and later) upgrade. If you are running the original vip.386 driver installed from the Windows 95 CD
ROM, your machine will crash on reboot, in which case, do the following:
Boot up in Safe Mode by pressing F8 just as Windows 95 starts booting.
Set EnableRouting to 0 using regedit.
Download the DUN 1.2 or DUN 1.3 upgrade and install it.
