I want to set up my Linux box so that I can gain http, ftp (and probably
others) access through it from a Windows 95 machine. I'm thinking that
I'll get a small hub and network the 2 machines together; the modem will
be connected to the Linux box. So any web access from the Windows
machine will be via the Linux machine.

What I don't know is what I need to set up on the Linux box to make it
act as a proxy in this way. Can someone please point me to some docco
that explains how to go about this?
Thanks,
