Hello, Acutully I have installed windows NT server as Primary Domain Controler and I have installed two Network cards of RealTec and they are successfuly installed, I have also assigned two different IP's to them, and one of my network card is connected to another domain controler, and one is connected to win98 computer. So I just wanted to know that how do I make my PDC as Router between win98 computer and another PDC ? I will be really grateful to you if you solve my problem. Bye

You can't unless you install a third-party Internet connction sharing (ICS) software. Unfortanly there are no such options built in NT. Win2000 and XP have it but not NT.

You most certainly can do this Kristoffer. He doesn't mention anything about wanting to share an internet connection. He simply wants to route between two networks.
Farhan, this most certain IS built into NT Server. You need two NICs which you state you already have. They must be configured to be on diffenet subnets which I assume is the case although you don't state that.
Now, I'm not in front of an NT machine but I can get you close to what you need to do. On the properties of IP I believe there is an Advanced tab. You are looking for a check box to "Enable IP forwarding". It should be unchecked by default. When you check it, you are making the NT machine a router which according to your post is exactly what you want.
Kristoffer is referring to a whole diffent thing with ICS.
