How can I auto-route some components in one layer?

In a Protel DXP double-sided PCB project, how can I auto-route some components on both layers and the others on one layer?

For instance, I've finished schematic and PCB designs in a PCB Project.
By default, when I select auto-route command in the menu bar, the system routes the tracks on the both layers of the PCB board.
But in some situation for me, I want all the tracks which are connected to the pads of a component (such as an IC in DIP package) to be placed(routed) on one layer (either on the top or the bottom layer).

How to do it? Thanks!
 

you can set the net rules ,
the layer for routing etc.
also the via u can asign for nets.

iam not sure in protel.
but in most eda tools this concept is true.

Add a rule to constrain routing to one layer for a particular net. So if you want the MCLR line only routed on the bottom layer, then just add a rule for that net.
