Yes, you will need something that does the private address to public routable IP address translation. Win98SE's ICS does it, but there are better products (including WinRoute/Pro, Wingate and, best of all, a cheap Linux machine running ipchains/iptables!) BH> Thanks Frank! I'll let you know how it turns out. Good luck with it.
