XP and 2003 need gateway address in NIC to reach TS Gateway.....Why?
i helped troubleshoot ts gateway problem. here details of problem , fix:
network details: (all machines on same subnet, not have gateway address specified on nic):
- 2003 sp2 dc
- 2008 ts gateway server
- xp sp3 client
- vista sp1 client
problem:
- if vista rdc 6.1 client tries use ts gateway access machine in subnet, can.
- if xp sp3 6.1 rdc tries use ts gateway access machine in subnet, cannot. gets error saying cannot locate gateway. immediate, if cannot try.
- if 2003 server 6.0 rdc client tries use ts gateway access machine in subnet, cannot either.
- 2008 okay vista.
solution:
- add default gateway nics on xp , 2003 machines..
i thought gratuitous arp related (thanks michael smith), 2003 machine showed arp entries ts gateway machine regardless of default gateway setting on nic, if not gateway set. yet not reach ts gateway unless entry (even bogus one) set.
summary:
- neither xp sp3 2003 sp2 use ts gateway if did not have default gateway set.
now, not normal scenario.
even so, microsoft, why be?
thanks,

this behaviour proper , expected. gateway built internet access. hence, non-existent default gateway equivalent "no external access".
