First, tell "Internet Mail Service" (whatever THAT is) to STOP sending HTML. Send ASCII text instead. It will be much more readable by people on the FreeBSD mailing lists. You will also want to keep your mail messages within 80 columns, for those who are using text- based mailers. Second, you'll get your questions answered quickly and efficiently on freebsd-questions. The freebsd-net list is generally used to discuss development of the networking support in FreeBSD. I don't know that you're likely to get questions about a Windows- based proxy server answered anywhere here; you'll probably need to talk to the vendor of the proxy server. We just don't do Windows here (much). It can't hurt to ask over on -questions, though. My suggestion would be to plug the cable modem into the FreeBSD box, put a second network card in the FreeBSD box for the Windows PCs, and use the advanced networking features of the FreeBSD box to make your network work. I've forwarded a copy of this reply to the -questions list, and directed replies to you and to the -questions lists. Good luck. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
