I have been supplied with a username and password for the proxy and have a question which I cannot seem to find a hint for. How would one begin to setup FreeBSD to use that peticular proxy? How would you specify the username/password. Can you use a DNS server on the other side of the firewall? (No-one thought far in advance enough to position a DNS server within out intranet. On a different note, any clue as to why games such as Diablo, which uses UDP packets wouldn't be able to cross PPP's masquerading scheme even though no filtering is active? Everything else works great with PPP except for this UDP problem. Tony
