Date: Thu, 18 Jan 1996 10:43:42 +0200 Organization: Carelcomp Forest Oy Lines: 27 Message-ID: <30FE083E.5B2F@hilti.lpr.carel.fi> NNTP-Posting-Host: hila.lpr.carel.fi Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0b3 (WinNT; I) Hi, I'm using a small ethernet with two hosts at home. From my FreeBSD machine, I have a PPP link to office at work, which I use to access internet. I have been wondering about how to enable routing from the second machine at home to internet via FreeBSD & ppp. Currently I have been using cern httpd with proxy access and it works fine. I also know that "socks" could be used. However, I noticed that there is a thing called "ip masquerading" in Linux. I haven't tried it and don't know if it works, but I like the idea. As far as I understand, masquerading makes all hosts in my local network to look as a one, big, active host to PPP side. Has anybody any experiences on masquerading ? Is such thing available for FreeBSD ? If not, is someone going to port it to FreeBSD ? Ari S. -- Ari Suutari ari@hilti.lpr.carel.fi Carelcomp Forest Oy +358 53 6243512 Lappeenranta Finland
