[gloworange]How do I make a Proxy?[/gloworange] My group and I have decided to switch to a home network, I want to be a little on the Safe/cheap/experimental side and build a proxy. I have a computer with no software 2 hard drives, two CD drives, and one floppy drive. I was using it as a Linux box but I wiped it.
I want to know, step by step, how to build a proxy that can support multiple machines connecting to the internet at the same time.
Here is what I was going to do:
1. Configure one hard drive to be the Master and the other to be it’s slave.
2. Install an old copy of Windows 2000 on it and update it as needed (SP4- by the way- how do I get that without my 2k being online?)
3. Download and install ‘Freeproxy 3.81 Build 1527' ‘WinGate 6.1.4' ‘Proxy+ 3.00.250' ‘Proxy 4.14' ‘WinProxy 5.2a’ or something like that.
4. Switch the DSL to that computer (now proxy server)
5. Hook up the wireless router to the proxy server
6. Enjoy

Did I get it all right? Please I would love anyone’s input links or comments.
