I've been doing it for almost a year, starting with when i used my 28.8k connection. Since I started this on a 486/33 8MB system, i decreased the Squid cache sizes to 2MB in RAM and 10MB on HD, and decreased the number of folders and subfolders it used to sort its cache (this 486 had 300MB of slow, old, IDE hard drive). Just run Squid on the FreeBSD machine and tell the others that you want to use it for the WWW, gopher, and FTP proxy. This only works from within your web browser. If you want full internet connectivity from the other machines, use natd. --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
