Simple, install FreeBSD on the NT box...:) With NT proxy server you're going to be limited in the type of services you can provide to your FreeBSD system. You should examine what services you need on your FreeBSD box. If you just need www, ftp read, gopher then you can use a KERN compatible browser(netscape & Xwindows). Unfortunately NT proxy only supports Tcp/IP for winsock clients(win95), so things like ping, traceroute, regular ftp, sendmail and other tcp/ip stuff won't be passed by the NT proxy server to the net(but will work great on your local subnet). You have the option of using SOCKs for your BSD system if the application supports it. Depending on your network you can attempt to bypass the NT server, ie if you know the external address of the proxy server, and they have packet forwarding enabled(probably not). Things may have changed since I installed proxy, and I've been cramming for finals so you may wanna verfity this...hehehe.. You may want to setup NATD, w/ squid in place of the proxy server or change your network setup...
