Hello Ben

 DD>> I am not sure if this is the right echo for this

 BC>  What you need is either a proxy server (software) or

Win98SE actually has this built-in, though Wingate'll work as well of 
course.

 BC>  I am using Wingate on my network and it is working fine

 BC> time) to get a telnet connection to work across the network.

Telnet to your gateway machine, eg "gateway" or whatever you set it up 
as.

You then get a "Wingate ready" prompt. 

Then type in the address you want to go to, such as "ftp.cdrom.com"

If you want a special port; "ftp.cdrom.com 110"
