I'm trying to figure out a solution to a problem that I can't find a
clear answer on. Does anyone know if it is possible using readily
available software to set up a tcp/ip network using unix (freebsd/linux)
and/or microsoft windows (95/nt) with a server conected through a modem
to the internet, without having not having a static ip address on the
dial up connection, to get all systems to be able to access the
internet? In other words, can you fool the system into thinking that the
request is coming from the "modem server?" It seems that the way most
systems are set up, this would not be possible, but if it is I want to
know.
