Someone mentioned, after i complained WinGate blocking certain ports (specifically ping), that Free BSD would also do the trick. I went on IRC a few days later, and was told it was really hard to set up. I haven't installed it yet, partly because it refuses to recognize either of my server's two NICs, a 3Com Etherlink III and Intel EtherExpress Pro 10. I've never used any unix-os, and was just wondering if I would be able to use any port as if each machine was directly connected to the internet, and if it is hard to set up?
