A note about my last response to this question. Our company is (still) waiting on a T-1 line into our new office. I had to get a solution up quickly that we could access our POP email from our new location. After trying NT Server with Proxy Server 2.0, I wasted an entire day trying to install the server and client workstations software. I had never used Proxy Server for NT, but it seemed like it would be a trouble free setup. Wrong! After installing the Proxy Server, it turned out that you had to install a proxy client on the workstation as well. That was fine on our NT workstations, but once I tried it on a Win95 laptop, KABOOM! The laptop would only come up in safe mode. That night, I said, F*CK this! So I configed a a spare P-100 with a 28.8 modem and NIC using natd and ip aliasing. I got a total solution finished in about 3 hours (from installation to a working gateway). I had never attempted ip aliasing or natd with FreeBSD before, and it was easier than I thought. The next morning, I hooked up the box, changed my NIC's IP address, dialed our ISP via ppp, and viola! Instant internet access. FreeBSD saves the day again! -- mark c. -----Original Message----- From: Gaylord Van Brocklin <gvb@tns.net> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Sunday, February 22, 1998 8:13 PM Subject: Networking situation.. >Here is the situation, a cable modem coming in to a hub then going out to >two machines, one a BSD system which stays up 24/7, another a Windows >machine which will be powered off when not in use, the problem is that the >cable company only distributes one static IP per customer.
