Hi,
its not recommended, but Windows can act as a IP Router.
To enable routing set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnableRouter to 1:
c:\>reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v IPEnableRouter /D 1 /f
change the startup type of the service “Routing and Remote Access” to auto
sc config RemoteAccess start= auto
and start the service
sc start RemoteAccess
Thats it

Hi,
when you often have to copy some text between HTML/Browser pages, browser based content management systems, Office Documents and terminal emulators you know the problem: Text from browsers and office documents also contains format attributes like font size, fonts etc. which causes an unexpected layout or format.
For example, if you copy a text from LibreOffice to wordpress(Yes of course, you could paste the test into wordpress by using the “paste plain text” toolbar buttons. But this is one step more and I prefer Ctrl V Ctrl C for copy and paste).

Hi,
if you want to change the IP Address (new Address is in the same subnet) a of Windows Server by a minimal downtime for the users?
In pure Active Directory domains this is not a problem because the server itself updates its A Record at the DNS server and the Active Directory replicates the entry immediately.
In large environments with a heterogeneous DNS structure the TTL of the DNS entry respectively of the DNS zone becomes very important, because the entry is cached for this time by the requesting server, so the time when the new DNS A record reaches each DNS Server can take some time.
