Right. What about IPv4 then.. My OS/2 machine has one and only IPv4
address: 192.168.1.2. There needs to be a NAT router between the
Internet and OS/2.

 - Linux NAT For IPv4.
 - Windows Portproxy for IPv6.

What is the difference? ;-)

The netsh portproxy for incoming traffic is running at the same computer
than squid for outgoing traffic.

Squid and netsh are running on Windows 2003 server.

That would be nice indeed. I know that it is possible to run privoxy on
a router. I don't know about inbound v6->v4 thing but if it is possible
to do with windows, it has to be possible with linux router. :)
