Allowing 2 networked PCs to both send Internet mail??

Hi All,

We've just set up a Win 95b peer to peer 10mbps RJ45 network.  All is fine
and dandy with file and printer sharing using IPX/SPX and NetBEUI.  

What I really want to do is to allow the other terminals to send e-mails
through the modem-equipped PC.  Can this be done on a very low budget? 
Internet browsing is not necessary.  Has anybody achieved this and if so I
would be very grateful if you could let me know how.

Cheers,

Andy..

Hello,
check out http://www.nat32.com
Nat32 will allow full internet access to all the pcs on your lan and for 
a very reasonable cost.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but would deleting NetBEUI also disable his file and 
print sharing abilities?  I know IPX can be deleted (except to play LAN 
games), but I tried to install only TCP/IP on my 5 computer LAN, and though 
communication was available, file and print sharing was gone.  Any special 
settings you need to do for file sharing to work with TCP/IP only?

No special setup required.  You might need to use find to locate your other
computers.  Make sure F&P is bound to Tcpip and unbind all others.

Additional to Stuarts suggestions:

Check out Wingate (you can download it from www.winfiles.com).

The other PC will have to setup the mail as:

POP Server: <machine running wingate>
User name: <username>#mail.easynet.co.uk
Password: <whatever>
SMTP Server: <machine running wingate>

Andy

Suppose M is the computer with the modem and A is the other machine. 

1. Set up internet working (TCP/IP and the dial up adapter) on M in
the usual way;

2. Set up Netbeui on both machines and ensure they both have the same
Workgroup;

3. Place Pegasus Mail email client software and the mailboxes on M.
(Resist temptation to place an email client on A.) Place Mercury/32 on
M;

4. Set up  Pegasus to "Never" use Winsock. Configure MercuryX to
dial-up your ISP, send internet mail, retrieve internet mail at fixed
intervals (eg every 2 hours);

With this setup, users can compose emails offline and queue them for
sending during the next MercuryX window and download mails from the
ISP's POP3 server in the same window. Local mails between A and M,
which need no telephone dial-up, are distributed by Mercury
continuously. See my web page for how to get Pegasus and Mercury -
they are both free.

Note that Pegasus CAN be run over a network. When a user on A starts
it up, s/he gets an INSTANCE of the pegasus program from M but running
on A.

All computers should probably have TCP/IP.  You dont need other protocols.

Unless you have a WINS server, be sure to use the LMHOSTS file.  Set your
outgoing SMTP server to be the computer with a modem.  If you need to
receive data through the computer with modem, make sure it is either set to
forward IP packets (not supported by many dial-in ISPs), or have a POP server
installed on the computer with modem.  You should also have software on your
computer with modem that will retrieve mail from your ISP email accounts.

For file and printer sharing, make sure you have "File and Printer Sharing" for
Microsoft Networks.

The private IP address spaces are:

    10.0.0.0    thru     10.255.255.255        1-class-A
    172.16.0.0    thru    172.31.255.255    16-class-B
    192.168.0.0    thru    192.168.255.255    256-class-C
