What I'm trying to do is get my FreeBSD machine to use a proxy server (Wingate) I have running under Windows 2K on my home network. Specifically, I want to have FreeBSD use proxy for www and ftp. I'm not sure I'm making sense but I want to start an ftp session on my FreeBSD box. My FreeBSD box is only connected via LAN to my Win 2K machine. The Win 2K machine has an Internet connection and is running proxy server software (Wingate). I want FreeBSD to connect to the Internet through the Win 2K machine. I have looked for info on this subject in the handbook and in various Unix books I have at work but have not found anything on the subject. Coming from a DOS/Windows world, I expect that I have to tell the client software to use the proxy server. Does this hold true with FreeBSD? I'm running "FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 20 22:50:22 GMT 2000" as reported from dmesg in a 486 box. My network card is a NE2000 compatible. Did I forget any relevant information?
