[plug] Routing tables for hybrid Linux & Windows network

[Shayne O'Neill]

Its definately in XP home. Its pretty limited. From memory it enforces a
NAT subnet on the routing for 192.168.0.1 (making it a bit clumsy to nest
NAT's although I've done this before).

Just turn on "Internet sharing", fiddle fart around with it a bit  and
bobs your uncle. Not as easy as piping "1" into the routing , but its all there.
