If you don't have an assigned address space that the outside world isn't aware of, then you have several choices: . Obtain a address space from hostmaster@internic.net (unlikely) . Obtain a subnet from your provider (possibly expensive) . Run a firewall with proxies for clients (fwtk from TIS will do this for some TCP clients, notably X, http, telnet and ftp). I do this on a netbsd host. Works well for our purposes. . Run socks and "socksified" clients Perhaps there are more options, but I'm not aware of them.
