Hi,

I have a LAN with approx. 20 PC's. with a NT 3.51 server and all other
running Win95. On one of the Win95-machines I'm running a proxy (Right now;
WinGate but I've tried several others).

Like this:

         -------
            -------
       | PC1 | ---------- ------------|     |--------------------------|  NT
|
         -------                            ----------
         --------
                                            |  HUB  |
         -------                            ----------
          -------  WinGate
       | PC2 | -----------------------|     |--------------------------| PC3
|----------------------> INTERNET
         -------
             -------

But when I want the other PC's in the network to get ie. mail, I hap to map
a port in Wingate, pointing on my mailserver, and then ask my other PC to
connect to IP 168.0.0.121  (IP of PC3)

Now my question is; isn't there an easier way to do this? Othervise programs
like RealAudio, IRC and all those wont work unless I go out and map a port
everytime I find a new program to use... AND I have to know what IP it wants
to connect to, since I have to tell that to WinGate. And Since you don't use
the same source in RealAudio and IRC I have to write down their DNS, go out
to WinGate and enter it, restart WinGate, and THEN I can connect to the
source.... IT SUX!!!!

Any help on this will be GREATLY appreciated...

~Fr@nk.
