Re: 1 ip and 3 systems

Hello L.S.

I am no expert in Linux, but I believe you have two options. You can do IP
masquerade (you must download Msql also) or you can setup a proxy server.
You should be able to download a tar file from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/misc look for a file called
socks-linux-src.tgz

Decompress the file and follow the instructions in the readme file. I am
muttering through this process now. Perhaps we can assist one another.
So far, I have had an opportunity to download the file and decompress it.
I am reading the documentation carefully. If you have any insight I would
appreciate your assistance.

The Proxy server is a good idea; because if a hacker connects to your
server he will have a difficult (no impossible) time trying to attach to
other clients on your network. If this is incorrect, please correct me. 

Just a few options,

Drew
