Many thanks to all who pointed out that there is an IP Masquarading mini-howto. It took less than an hour to read through and seems to work perfectly from the point of view of giving the Windows boxes internet access.
All I did was enter these commands: ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 Do I need to worry further about security? We are talking about securing a box that is used by the kids to browse teletubbie sites but obviously I don't want the hassle of having to reload software if I have left a door wide open. BTW, sorry about misspelling "alternatives" Patrick > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Kirk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 7 July 1999 12:36 > To: Debian User > Subject: Alternastive to using squid > > > Hi all, > > I have a P200MMX with 32MB of RAM and 2 NICs that I want to use > as a gateway > machine to the Internet. > > I do not need the caching, etc. that one gets with squid.
