I don't have any personal experience with Winproxy but It appears to be similar to WinGate which is free. I prefer a hardware configuration over a software set up. Main reason is your connection, with WinProxy (from what I read) if your PC desginated as the server goes down none of your units attached to the network will be able to connect to the Net. So you become very dependent on that one machine. With a hardware configuration you can structure it so that any unit on the netwok can connect to the Net regardless of the working or non working condition of your server unit. Of course the big issue is $$ and how much you are willing to spend. WinGate is free, WinProxy $49.00, a Router $600.00 and up. If I was to choose between the two (WinGate / WinProxy) I'd go with with WinGate. Mainly due to my experience with it and the cost. Another nice aspect of WinGate is it's support for 32bit applications and DOS, this may be provided by WinProxy but I didn't see any reference to it at their site. Anyone else have any experience with WinProxy
