I have 3 computers total on my network, The FreeBSD machine which is connected to the modem and 2 Windows 95 Machines and the windows 95 machines seem to work fine on IRC, WWW, FTP. But just the other day i attempted to play Quake on a server of my friends and it said it couldn't find it.. But yet everyone i knew said it was there. And another thing is that DCC Chatting cannot be initiated by ME in IRC. So the question is, Can i some how enable and alias or is there a 3rd Party program that will do a completely flawless gateway? Or do i have to have another IP address assigned to my other machines. That really isn't an option, i have already asked my ISP if i could get some static ip's but cannot. So that cant be a solution so I'm hoping there is another way to get this to work. I would appreciate any help you guys could give me. Sincerely, Scott Ginn
