HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\EnableRouting
On Windows 98ME, the following Registry value is set:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\IPEnableRouter
On Windows NT, the following Registry value is set:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnableRouter
Windows must be rebooted if this value is modified.

If the value does not exist, an error message is printed. Application regedit.exe should be used to add the value to the Registry. If no argument is specified, the current value is printed.
