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. -tom -- [* Thomas Lockney, Jr. *] [* thos@88net.net (or) *] [* thos@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu *] [* http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~thos *]
