I'm running 2.1.0 with kernal mode PPP. I have a local ethernet, defined as 10.0.0.0, and I dial-up to the ISP. I want the Windows machines on the ethernet to believe they're talking to the Internet, with no/miminal changes in the client programs. I would much prefer to stay RFC compliant, but am willing to pass if I'm not actually causing problems and there's no better way. Firewall functions are interesting, but not the immediate concern. I'm not an expert (duh!), and will either need a "plug-and-play" solution or some serious advice during installation. So far what I've seen is a) stuff for user-mode but not kernal-mode; b) NAT, which is not strictly compliant; and c) SOCKS5, which sounds like it requires substantial work to install and changes to the clients. What are my options? (And where do I find SOCKS5? I'd like to RTFM.)
