Re: [XP] RIP listener service breaks NetBIOS browsing I think you would only need to enable RIP if you had a PC with 2 NICs and were using it as a router...even then, RIP is a "dynamic" way to learn routes and populate it's routing table. You could just use static routes and leave RIP turned off. Since your network already has a router, what happens if you just leave RIP turned off on the PCs? |

1 edit | Also leave "Routing and Remote Access" turned off...again, this should only be needed (on a PC) if you want to use this PC as a router. As long as you have "Default Gateway" set on each PC and it points to your inside interface of your edge router of that subnet, that (and good DNS) is all they should need for Internet access. Local network resources are, local, and therefore don't need a "route" to be able to find them.
Hope this helps. |

Re: [XP] RIP listener service breaks NetBIOS brows Well, I wondered if they were doing anything useful. I'd enabled them last week when I was experimenting with bridging two subnets. But I've removed those now so I guess they are superfluous.
But I wonder where the bogus route was coming from every time I enabled RIP listener service? Those things bother me.... |
