Hi !
     I have a doubt about the differences between Proxy Servers and Packet 
Filtering Routers :
     - I have two networks, a registered net connected to Internet and a 
protected Corporative net with a firewall separing them. Can I use Packet 
Filtering Router as my firewall or only a Proxy Server can support this ?

     Thank's for your attention !
