Ok, I've been using RedHat and Mandrake for about a
year now and understand the basics(I think), X, KDE, and etc..
I'm not sure how to do this, but this is what I
want to do:
I have 1 Connection to my School LAN and 1 IP
Address. I want to hook up 4 computers to this, one for a Q3 Server, a
WinNT system, a win2000 system and a linux & proxy/firewall server for the
other three. Which is the best way?
I want each computer to run through the proxy
or firewall or something and only use one IP. I was hoping each computer
could use the same IP with different ports or something through the proxy or
firewall. I don't know much about proxies and firewalls. How can I
do this? Do I need to have one proxy/firewall computer with 2 nic cards,
one to the School LAN and one to a hub for the rest of the computers(FIG 1) or
just a hub for all of them with the proxy hooked up to the hub(FIG
2)?

Also, what Software could I use to do this in Linux?
I hope I knew enough to explain what I want to do =)
Thanks for any help.
