I have a fully working network with linux as the server, the rest of the machines are win 95 (ugh). Is there a piece of software that will allow any of my win 95 machines to connect to the internet via the linux box. The modem is on the server running linux and is set up for the internet already. any suggestions would be useful john kinchin boston grammar school

Sounds like a job for squid with the win95 clients set to use the LInux server as proxy. Do you need more than browser (http/ftp) access? _____________________________________ Giles Nunn - Network Manager Carms Schools ICT Development Centre Tel: +44 01239 710662 Fax: 710985 ____________________________________
The ipchains command will allow you to configure your kernels firewall. this can be used for all sorts of things (debying packets from other compueters etc.) Something which might interest you is IP Masquerading. This will alter packets at your linux gateway to change to source address to its own internet ip. So your win95 workstations appear as though they are your Linux machine on the net. *youll probably need to do this 1st (as root): echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward simply type (as root) ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/16 -d 0/0 -j MASQ *where 192.168.0.0 is the address range of u're local network make sure that you win95 workstations have there default gateway set to the linux box.
