    Give Proxy+ or Wingate a try. You'll need to purchase if you go over a certain number of machines. At the moment I'm using Proxy+ the share the internet and as a mail server for Outlook express on the other PC's on the network. It can be tricky to set up but it runs like a dream now:)

    Is the machine with the net connection running W2k or XP coz you could jsut use the built connection sharing and forget the proxy.

    Proxys are generally only handy if you want to cache websites to speed up your connection or you have security reasons for em...
