Hello !


My company is going to attach to its network other
organizations to use simple IP client-programs for
Windows (WinFTP, Netscape, etc.) there. 
To my mind this is a very bad idea to give them 
IP-addresses (class 'C') of my network area. 

I'd like to give them private IP-addresses. Does
someone know what the software I have to use to build
such network with gateway that works with both private
and external address areas ?

I don't care about external hackers attack, so don't want
to install Firewalls. Maybe the better way is a kind of 
proxy-software or something else ? And where I can get 
all of these ?

As OS for gateway I use FreeBSD-2.0.


Thanks,

 Alexey Demianenko
