If not, you'll have to use SOCKS or NAT as a proxy server. Not sure if the private network RFC 1597 IP's 192.168.x.x are concidered legal. I've set up my private network using this series of IP's. The Win95 machine can telnet into the BSD box just fine and then out. I want to be able to have my office use the Windoze programs to shield them from a real OS. ;-) ---snip--- > Yes, there is a socks5 port at > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/net/socks5 Thanks......
