RE: Internet proxy server

["Bill Gilmore" <caddmasters home com>]

Thanks again, Charles.  I looked for the HOWTO, but I guess I missed it.
Trouble is I can't stay in Linux for long before the rest of the users
threaten great bodily harm if they can't get to the internet.  I'll watch
for more threads.
Regards

Bill

With linux, you can do IP masquerading which is nicer than a proxy. This is
because you don't have to configure your clients differently to make them
work!

I don't have time to explain how right now, but there is a HOWTO, and if I
don't see anyone else chime in later, I try help out.
