Hello! I've seen this question too many times, but I have yet to find a *definintive* answer. How do I link a private LAN to the Internet over a PPP connection? The goal of this inquiry is twofold: 1) To get it working :-) 2) To document the process for inclusion in the Handbook or whatever. Here is the situation: A) I've set up a small 10BaseT network here between my 486 laptop running DOS and/or OS/2 (and in the future a Win95 P166) to my FreeBSD box. I can talk to the laptop just fine (telnet, ftp, etc). The network uses the 10.0.0.x block. B) I currently dial up my ISP using iijppp. That works fine. FWIW, I'm dialing into a Cisco terminal server. C) I have a NE2000 Ethernet card. Possibilities: 1) Run a caching server such as squid or harvest. This is no good; I need outbound telnet too. 2) Run SOCKS. No good; I don't know how to reconfigure the Novell Lan Workplace tcp/ip clients to use the socks server. (If someone knows how to do this I'm listening!! -- or perhaps know SOCKSified Windows clients) Anyone have a socks5.conf I can steal? 3) Run a firewall. Trying that now, it doesn't look like the firewall will proxy or perform the necessary conversions to get the replies back. Thoughts?
