Hi all

A (hopefully) easy question:

I have a home network of windoze and linux machines with an IPCop
firewall and Mandrake 9.2 acting as server and proxy server.  I want to
force all connections to the internet to go through the proxy server.

I thought that if I set hosts.allow on the firewall to only allow
connections from the server this would work.  However, windoze machines
on the network are still going straight through to the firewall.  

The question: is hosts.allow the right tool for this job?  

(If so then I'll go RTFM, otherwise which FM should I go R?)

I'm new to this list but have been lurking for a week or so, so I hope
I've asked the question appropriately(!) .  I'm finding conversion to
the linux world hard going, but intend persevering - I have a lot of
questions about which tools I should be using to achieve my desired
setup.

cheers

PS: if I have a reply-to thingy in the header, sorry - I'm using O**look
at work at the moment - I'm not sure how to change it.
