Just to confirm the above, Windows can route but it cannot port forward.<br />

Alternatively even a cheap router can port forward if that is of any help.

routing would be done by using the routing and remote access role

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
I have a Windows 2012 server with two NICs,<br />
WAN NIC is on 192.168.1.1<br />
LAN NIC is 172.21.1.1<br />
<br />
Is it possible to setup a virtual router on the server to relay incoming traffic on 192.168.1.1 to 172.21.1.100 on port 3000 as an example?

Hi Guys,

I have a Windows 2012 server with two NICs,
WAN NIC is on 192.168.1.1
LAN NIC is 172.21.1.1

Is it possible to setup a virtual router on the server to relay incoming traffic on 192.168.1.1 to 172.21.1.100 on port 3000 as an example?

Setting up virtual router in Windows Server 2012

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
