Re: [FW-1] IP Forwarding & NG & securing Win2000



As another list member mentioned, you enable routing via the registry.  We learned from CP that using the RRAS to turn on routing doesn't work for FW-1.  Here is the gist of the instructions:

4. Open the registry from command line by running the command "regedit"

5. Go to ->
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContralSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

6. Change the value to "1" in the Dword key "IPEnableRouter"

7. Restart the machine


I asked the same questioning about hardening Win2K recently and got these links as recommendations:

http://www.rtek2000.com/Tech/InternetSecureLinks.html#hard
  The rtek site above has links to about anything security related you could ask for.  I found a lot about hardening the OS on this site.

That should get you started on the hardening thing.  Turning off the workstation service is definitely a good thing.

> In an effort to secure our FW-1 firewall running on Win2000 I disabled the Workstation service. Further reading leads me to believe that I need to turn on IP Forwarding, which is part of the Routing and Remote Access Service? In my case RRAS is also off and when I tried to launch the RRAS GUI it complained that the Workstation service was not running.
