I tried a lot of proxy servers with various systems
and had limited success.
Sometimes they didn't work and when they did
performance was sketchy. In any
case, my son could not play battlenet behind the
main computer. I tried Wingate,
Nat1000, Win98 Internet Connection Sharing, all
with the same results. I ran
across a free linux server that is designed
specifically to act as a gateway/server
for the internet. It can be found at
www.esmith.net. Make sure to download the
PDF manual as well. The program sets itself up
automatically in about 10 minutes
and is based on Redhat 6. I had a server up and
running in about 30 minutes, not
knowing anything about linux configuration. I am
running 6 computers on my home
network and they all have their own connections via
the server. My son has had
his friends over and had as many as 3 battlenet
sessions going concurrently. Best
of all, it doesn't take much of a processor. I'm
using a 486 dx4 100 with 32 megs
of ram and a 400 meg harddrive. I have not had one
problem with this server yet.
Yes, it seems to be secure too. Hope this helps.
