Make the undesired layers invisible.  The autorouter only routes on
visible layers.

Shut off "auto enforce DRC clearance".  Or, (1) make sure your netlist
is loaded, and (2) start your traces at the pins and work out, instead
of starting out there and working towards the pins.

I was more curious about it, I have no real use for it other than
experimenting.  I wanted to see: (1) if I could feed it through my
laser printer, and (2) if I could make a four-layer board with blind
vias out of it.  So it would need to be 15 mil or less, single sided.
And cheap ;-)
