Thanks again, Dan. I think I "almost" have it working. In Windoze, where it wants you to specify a proxy server for the LAN connection, I was originally putting the firewall's internal IP. I changed that to the IP of the Cisco (10.0.0.1) and it looked like it was trying to connect. I'm not sure what port number to use, though. While traipsing through masq-related web pages yesterday, I recall seeing some port numbers but of course didn't write them down. My sample firewall script mentions the port number 24, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Vaughn Dan Brown wrote: > That is odd that you need dhclient.
