There are several of us now days that have a few computers around the house with at least one of them being connected to the internet via Cable or DSL. We all know that there is expensive hardware that allows you to share your cherished broadband connection with your other computers while not having to pay for more IP Addresses, but it is what it is, expensive! There is software out there that allows you to do the same thing over your LAN using NAT (Network Address Translation) instead of a router.
Is anyone on here using this kind of software SUCCESSFULLY? I have tried to use WinProxy and WinGate, but it never seems to work out right. The only way I can share my internet, currently, is to use a basic proxy program which uses ports on the host computer to share certain types of internet protocols such as HTTP or FTP. This can be a pain in the ass because you have to configure each individual program on the computers to use the proxy. Some programs don't even support proxy's!
I was just hoping that someone that is successfully using a program that uses NAT could recommend their program or to give some helpful information to those of us that would like to share their broadband with their other computers.
Thanks in advance!
