Can't help you there Joe, do not have Win98SE so I do not have this
setup that is unique to SE.
Like I was saying, I used third party programs to accomplish the same
thing since my windows box was the one with the modem.
Now I am on Linux and we use ipchains to accompish all of this so
much easier. Client boxes, no matter what type of OS, do not have to
setup proxies to accomplish the connections...connection is direct
through ipchains....no more problems with socks protocols either.
Sorry.
