How to enable routing on a virtual network interface

NTDEV

Hi everyone,

i’ve got a problem with a third party virtual network device driver,
which gives us VPN access. The problem is, that this driver disables
routing on that interface, so “internet connection sharing” won’t work.
Are there some API-functions i could use to make the interface
“routable” or is there a possibility to write a driver to do this ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I don’t know if this works, but have you tried using netsh to re-enable
it? Whatever the case, this is probably not something that you should
try to accomplish from a driver. The kernel-mode interface to tcpip.sys
(which would be the driver that owns this configuration parameter) is
not documented, outside of TDI stuff.

Thanks for your answer. I will give it a try
