No problem... I just completed the installation myself and it works like a charm! Go to winproxy.com as an example (there are others such as Wingate....) You'll find info on these sites to answer all your questions. BTW, my situation is somewhat complicated because I'm running a LAN comprised of a Mac and a PCII (Cerlon @ 450Mhz). The PC is acting as both a proxy server and my main machine for real time quotes, etc. Haven't noticed any performance degradation.... Good luck Sapper

Catlady, Its actually very easy.... 1. Security... Two things both NAT and Socks/Proxy servers provide firwall protection. The safest way to minimize impact is to install NETBEUI protocol on ALL computers. Bind Client for MS Networking to Netbeui only. NOTHING Will be bound to TCP/IP. TCP/IP set will warn you thats its not being used. Ignore the warning.... 2. gateway server. Any machine can function as the gateway server. Linux or Netware are not recommended. The following recommended programs work fine on both 95/98 and NT. Take your pic. You need to add a second ethernet NIC to the machine functioning as a gateway. Check out the following software.... sygate.com wingate.net Hope this Helps.... Sean
