What you need is a "gateway", I think. You need a TCP/IP-Stack for the
Amiga which is capable of routing. I don`t know if this exists
(Miami does it definitely not, perhaps AmiTCP) for the Amiga.
If you install NetBSD or Linux you should be able to install such a 
"gateway", and the Amiga would act like a server to the PC.
Of course you need an ethernetconnection between these two machines, too,
as you can`t connect a PC and an Amiga via a plip-device AFAIK.
(I don`t know anything about slip-devices, but that would be rather
slow...)

AmiTCP will do it, and MiamiDeluxe will do it when it gets available.
AmiTCP will need some nerves for installing though! :) (Might be OK if
you're into TCP/IP stuff)

Yes, thought currently only with AmiTCP.

Firstly, for general advice, have a look at http://www.blksheep.demon.co.uk
This explains how to configure a loopback interface to allow a machine
running amitcp to act as a gateway.

To get various services through this gateway, you have two choices.

You can either run a proxy/socklink/hijack for each specific service,
this is fine if you just wish to use the pc for web/irc[no dcc].

If you wish to get a bit more sophisticated, have a look at the
socks server on aminet, you'll have to get some kind of stack on the
PC which can support the relevant socks version, but it should be possible.

Cheers,

Doug.

The easiest way (which also happens to be free) is to run the Internet
on the PC, and run WinGate Lite on the PC.  This will let you do any
internet services you wish on the Amiga, and then proxy through the PC
to the Internet.  Allowing incoming connections takes some work, but
can be done.
