hi there: i have @home cable modem and running a network with 8 neighbors where i am providing them with internet connection. i am using wingate right now as a proxy/router (i guess it's called). it's working pretty good, however, i would like to setup one of my old Pentium 133MHz computers as a FreeBSD proxy/router. now, is there a way to setup a FreeBSD computer to do the same as i am currently doing with wingate? would ipfirewall or ipfw meet my needs? or that's just a firewall and not a proxy/router? i don't know if i am using the correct lingo, but i think it's called a router when you supply internal ip addresses with internet connection like i do above with wingate? all help would be greatfully appreciated! -ponch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
