You need to do several things. #1) Run ppp with the -alias switch. #2) Set the FreeBSD machine as the Gateway on the Windows 95 machine. (Start | Control Panel | Network | TCP/IP | Gateway) #3) You need to set the name server on the windows machine, this is most likely your ISP's name server. It is also in the TCP/IP properties. If it still does not work, then write back to the list. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Sodah [SMTP:rsodah@index.com.jo] > Sent: Friday, July 02, 1999 6:03 PM > To: Jonathon Doran; FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: socks5 > > Jonathon Doran wrote: > > > > You don't.
