Have a win95 machine taht has Wingate running on it. I have another 
machine that dual boots WFW or BSD. I have WFW setup so the Win95/Wingate 
machine is my proxy (mostly to see how it worked) and now am wondering if 
FBSD cna use Win95/Wingate as a proxy?

I have the 95 and bsd talking to each other via tcp, can ping each other 
can telnet, ftp into the bsd machine from teh 95 box. 

I setup a route: route add 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1

netstat shows Destination as 192.168.0.2 and the gateway as .0.1 Flags 
are UGHS.

but as you might imagine I get no route to host when I try to ping my 
providers host from teh bSD machine via the 95 machine.

This is purely an experiment to see if it can be done. Anyone konw if 
Wingate can handle this? Or if BSD can hande the 95 machine as the "router">
What might my hosts file read? Ive named the bsd box as mybsd.net I would 
think the IP and the name of the bsd machine should be there but it does 
not seem to make a diff though.

Thanks for any info...
