Question : IP Forwarding? XP as router? Static Route? Test LAN setup before branch office rollout.

Hello All,

I need help connecting 2 LANs in my tes scenario as depicted in fogure one of this article: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/ArticleID/49788/49788.html
Briefly, I need to connect LAN_A through Win XP (with 2 nics) to LAN_B for the purposes of settingup a new Branch office server before shipping it to it's final location. I need to emulate the IP addresses of the final deployment situation so as to provide a smooth rollout to the Branch Office.

I am stuck getting the two severs to see each other. I think I need to setup a static route, and have tried many different ways, but an a newbe at that command.... Any help is greaty appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Here is how I have them setup:

LAN A:
SBS 2003:
ip: 192.168.0.200
sm: 255.255.255.0
dg: 192.168.0.1



XP machine in middle:
NIC-A:
ip: 192.168.0.123
sm: 255.255.255.0
dg: 192.168.0.1

NIC-B
ip: 192.168.1.123
sm: 255.255.255.0
dg: 192.168.1.1



LAN B
Win Server 2003
ip: 192.168.1.200
sm: 255.255.255.0
dg: 192.168.1.1

Last ^ is in wrong place, see:
route  -p  add   192.168.1.200  mask 255.255.255.255  192.168.0.123
