[PROXYPER] need a non-TCP/IP personal proxy

[Messenger, Mark]

Kind of a dumb question, but have you considered running a little NAT action
on your network?

A NAT setup would go something like this:

Assuming you have a Cisco 675/678:
1) Your DSL comes into the Cisco, which acts as your NAT and DHCP server.
(This requires you to set up the Cisco as a DHCP client and server).
2) You connect the Ethernet side of the cisco to your hub/switch.
3) You set all of your client computers (Your Dnet boxen :P ) to use DHCP.
4) All of your client machines receive 10.0.0.* or 192.168.0.* addresses
from the Cisco.
5) All of your client machines should be able to access the 'net (and
thusly, Dnet's servers) without a problem.

If this does not work in your environment due to the "security issues" you
mentioned, you may wish to use a different network model.

Hope this helps.

I have 12 computers (486s to P3s) running the distributed.net client
24/7. They are all conected by ethernet LAN running NetBEUI (no TCP/IP).
I can't have TCP/IP due to security issues and the complecity involved.
Right now they connect to Internet Keyservers via PPPOE on a DSL
connection. PPP over ethernet (PPPOE), a kind of encapulation ao that
PPP packet can go into a ethernet packet. But this connection  is
extreamly congested. Keyservers never resolve or just timeout, or have
no entries. I tryed not using the main Keyserver and usinga a smaller
(Wisconsion) keyserver and that didn't work. It never resolved. I was
thinking of using a personal proxy until I found out that it required
TCP/IP. I was thinking of a system that the buffers are on a remote
system mapped to a local drive letter. Each client has their own buffer
on a remote system. The remote system refreshes the buffers when they
become low. Is this possable and is there any software to do this. I was
thinnking this when I found about SneakerNetting.
