I'll have to look at the masq howto's, as I've only a basic
understanding of what you're talking about. Give me a
straight-forward ethernet network, & I'm fine. This is all new
to me.

Maybe, but I've had nothing but trouble with other people's
proxys. I think I'll stick to figuring out how to masq.

Now, now. Not that worried about their surfing -- it's all
porn. And you know how particular people can be about their
porn;-).

Ah. Another time for that. I'm only being charged three
dollars for three of the statics I got from the isp -- the fourth
is free (just 'cause the owner's a nice guy). While I can
certainly afford another public address, I want to keep, at least
this, Windows box away from yutzes.

I'll have to take your word for it till I figure out how to do
it....

For the most part, sure. Just don't know how to do it yet;-).

I've installed, this last install, the software, & I plan to
play with it. All in good time. It's this idiot job keeping me
from getting things done in any semblance of quickness.

Cool. I may be putting more than one box on the private
network later, but for now, just the one. Thanks.
