You can use MS Proxy in a similar fashion to natd, i.e. IP forwarding, but you must install a proxy client on your windows machines. Other OS's (to my knowledge) won't work with MS Proxy since there is no port of the client. If you don't use the client, you must setup the individual applications to use the proxy, this should work with other OS's, but I have not tried. This limits your access to only a handful of ports. ...Michael... > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of > Nathan Vidican > Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 11:52 AM > To: Rick Hamell > Cc: John Turner; questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: MS Proxy > > > Rick Hamell wrote: > > > > > MS Proxy server (or any proxy server) doesn't care what > sort of client is > > > sending it TCP packets.
