In a sense the NT box is acting as a router....... I think by default it would only know the two networks that are attached (like a router would) but you can add your own routes to an NT/2000/XP box, effectively you could use it as a router that only understands static routes (although I think you could use RIP with them I'm not sure if I'm confusing NT/2000 with another OS)...
