Hi Don, I'll tackle issue 1. If you want to surf or ftp, configure your browser to use the MS Proxy server and ensure the WWW service is running on the Proxy Server. If you want to check your email or use any protocols other than http, ftp, gopher, or snews (the 4 protocols covered by the WWW service), you'll need to fight with the Socks service on the Proxy server. I think Chris is thinking of the Winsock service which only allows MS clients as it requires a modified winsock.dll running on the client machines.
