It can be found at: http://www.srv.net/~cmott/alias.html I currently have a FreeBSD box (192.168.0.1) which is connected to the Internet via PPP. When I connect via PPP to my ISP, he assigns me a dynamic IP address. I have a Win95 box (192.168.0.2) connected to the FreeBSD box via ethernet. What Charles's software does is add the ip packet aliasing function to the dial up PPP software that comes with 2.1.5. Once you compile and install it and enable the 'Gateway=YES' in your sysconfig file, any machine that is connected by ethernet to the FreeBSD box can go out onto the internet... I am currently using this setup and works just fine. I am using Win95 browser, ftp, telnet, news and mail clients without any problems whatsoever...No change to your Win95 clients is neccessory. It is completely transparent and was very easy to setup (once I read the documentation provided) Just make sure that your normal PPP dialup works from your FreeBSD box and that your ethernet link works fine between your machines before you make any changes...Less problems to troubleshoot if something goes wrong..
