Well, the only solution I see is to setup the FreeBSD box with 2 NICs, install NAT and FIREWALL, and a DHCP Client (/usr/ports/net/ics-dhcp2). Correct me if I'm wrong here, I think this port contains the server and a client... right? > 2. I need to be able to reach the FreeBSD machine from the net That will be possible once the FreeBSD box will have a routable IP. > 3. I need all my 95/98 clients to still be able to reach the net. From what I understand, they "connect" via M$ proxy, right? Installing the Firewall, using the "simple" setup, and NAT will allow you to do that. > Please note - A web proxy will not be enough.
