HOW IT IS NOW: 1. Cable modem to the Internet(one IP address) 2. Internal network with multiple 95/98 machines on it 3. MSProxy 2 on the NT Server which is connected to the Internet 4. All clients use Winsock proxy for a non-hassle method of connection to the net 5. One FreeBSD 3.2 machine on the internal network THE PROBLEMS: 1. FreeBSD machine can't reach internet 2. Internet(well me from the Internet) can't reach FreeBSD machine WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE: 1. I need the FreeBSD machine to be able to get to the net(not being able to FTP really sux, imagine it...) 2. I need to be able to reach the FreeBSD machine from the net 3. I need all my 95/98 clients to still be able to reach the net. Please note - A web proxy will not be enough. I use other apps like ICQ and connect to game servers, access databases, etc. And finally the question: How would you guys recommend doing this? If you want me to set the FreeBSD machine as the gateway(proxy/NAT) I still need to able to use all of my programs on my 95/98 machines. I hear about NAT. What limitations does it have? Any other options? Feel free to ask me other questions about my intentions or current setup. Whatever I can provide you to help me only makes it better! Any help is appreciated. This will help me out a lot guys/girls. Thanks a lot. ================================================ Nick nick@chromatix.com Web Page: http://www.lopresti.dhs.org/users/nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
