subject: Proxy & DUN management

From: Chris Robinson 

Hello all and Happy New Year!

I need to pick your brains about a couple of things.  I have a win2k server
set up as a domain controller.  It also acts as a DHCP server and DNS
server for the LAN.  I recently got an ISDN line that I'd like to share.  I
have the ISDN adapter installed and the connection set up and tested - it's
all OK.

I've already tried a couple of things to share the connection but not had
much luck.  I tried using INternet Connection sharing in Windows but it
didn't work (some PC's are pre-Win98SE and so won't work with ICS anyway). 
I tried some software called iproxy which seamed to work intermitently with
the Web but I had absolutely no luck configuring it for email.  I've also
tried Sygate networking which completely screwed up the DHCP etc on the
server (Sygate took over as DHCP server etc) - luckily I took a backup
before trying this.

I also need to be able to control the DUN connection so it's only connected
suring certain times of the day.  I've used DUNManager before and was quite
impressed so I'll probably use that unless someone can sugget something
better or some freeware?

for now, the main thing is the Internet connection sharing (for Web, E-Mail
mainly).  Can anyone suggest a way of doing this.  It must be cheap/free so
a hardware solution is out of the question.

Thanks in advance,
Chris.
