OK, I'm an running network of about 80 workstations, all W2K (for the time being) with a W2K server. My internet access comes from a Mandrake 8.2 server, with shorewall as firewall, configured to ask for authentication which is verified against the W2K active directory.

I want to allow Phex only access from my machine for the obvious reasons, since it's use must be stricktly controlled so as to not kill by bandwidth (which is a SDSL line to and ISP running as about 300kbs max).

I toyed with the idea of adding a socks5 service to Madrake (actually installed it, but can't get it going, although I haven't spent much time on it.

Thanks again
