OK here goes...

At home I have AOL adsl on a win2000 pc, on its own it works fine but what I would like to achieve is a second PC to share the connection for playing online games p2p sharing and web etc, basically the whole range.

I have looked at analogx which is a simple proxy server which does not support the protocols that I need to use, (ie its all good if you want to use the web, read mail, some socks4 im etc).

What i'm after is some good NAT software, I have tried to use Sygate's Home/Office network neither of which recognise aol's broadband connection.

When you run a ipconfig /all from the cmd promt there is no real world ip address, only a wan adaptor with a 169.x.x.x address (broken tcp?), and of course the internal lan card which is working fine for file sharing etc.

So my question is a) does anyone have working nat on aol adsl, b) what software did you use to achive this and finally c) why do birds suddenly appear?...

:)

Cheers for any posts that find their way here.
 
It would probably be easier to achieve with a different ISP and a router.
