Help!! I am trying to setup my FreeBSD 2.2.7 box to act as a firewall between my local lan and my dial up isp via ppp. I would like the Win98 systems on the lan to communicate to the internet via socks5 on the firewall. I would like to telnet to the firewall from the lan, but only from 204.244.109.4 on the internet. I have disabled all daemons except for telnetd in inetd. I have the socks5 server from NEC installed. My problem is that my win98 systems will not talk to socks5 unless I specifically tell the program to specifically do so. I need to be able to do it transparently as I have some winsock software that does not have built in proxy support. Unless I leave "ipfw add 65000 pass all from any to any" in rc.firewall, the pop3 software etc. are all denied. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
