Some senseless babbling from Jonathan De Boyne Pollard to Mike Ruskai
on 02-07-98  20:27 about socket serving...
 MR> I just set up a LAN between my computer and my sister's computer. 
 MR> What I'd  like to do is give her computer unrestricted Internet
 MR> access via my cable  modem link.
 JDBP> Either:
 JDBP> 2.  Get hold of one of the packages for OS/2 that does IP
 JDBP> masquerading, configure her machine with a private IP address, and
 JDBP> configure the IP masquerading software appropriately.
What is the nature of this approach?  What I've done since then is install 
a SOCKS5 server from NEC, and everything is working fine, after SOCKSifying 
her programs with SocksCap32 (she uses Win95).
 JDBP> In either case, you don't *need* to set up a local DNS server, since
 JDBP> the DNS server provided by your IP provider should be accessible to 
ou
 JDBP> both. 
This is why I'm interested in your second option.  What is the nature of IP 
masquerading?
