Most probably, you mean that you have only one registered and routed address. I
would advise you to runa HTTP proxy on your FreeBSD machine and use
Netscape on the Win95 toaster to access that. I do just that, but with
WinNT rather than Win95. I use the TIS firewall toolkit (freeware
version), but maybe there are other (better?) alternative packages are
available.
