How to route TCPIP packets via RAS
I have an RAS Client which connects to an NT RAS Server. On the RAS Server, if the IP Forwarding is turned off, the RAS Client is unable to send TCPIP packets correctly through the RAS to the Network which the RAS Server is connected to. I am unable to turn on the Static IP Routing (i.e. via the Control Panel/Networking/TCPIP/Rou ting) because it causes problems with other routers on the corporate network. Am I missing something. I would think that the RAS Server should be able to forward TCPIP packets from the RAS Client correctly without turning on the IP Forwarding (i.e. Static Routes or something??) Both IPX and NetBeui appear to work correctly w/o IP Forwarding enabled. Here is some information about my configuration
RAS Client:
NT Workstation running 4.0
Requesting NetBeui, IPX, and TCPIP
TCPIP information (i.e. IP Address, gateway address, etc) being assigned by RAS Server
RAS Server:
NT Server version 4.0
TCPIP, NetBeui, and IPX protocols enabled
Using Pool of TCPIP addresses (13.1.2.1 - 13.1.2.16)
TCPIP address of Network Card (13.1.0.72)
Subnet Mask (255.255.252.0)

I am unfamiliar with how the proxy server will help. I assume the proxy server is setup on the RAS Server. How does the proxy server route the TCPIP packets from the RAS Clients.
