hi there:
i have @home cable modem and running a network with 8
neighbors where i am providing them with internet
connection. i am using wingate right now as a
proxy/router (i guess it's called). it's working
pretty good, however, i would like to setup one of my
old Pentium 133MHz computers as a FreeBSD
proxy/router. 
now, is there a way to setup a FreeBSD computer to do
the same as i am currently doing with wingate? would
ipfirewall or ipfw meet my needs? or that's just a
firewall and not a proxy/router?

i don't know if i am using the correct lingo, but i
think it's called a router when you supply internal ip
addresses with internet connection like i do above
with wingate?

all help would be greatfully appreciated!
