I have a desktop machine at home which runs Linux. My wife and I each
have laptops running Win95 and Win3.11 (!) which often come home from
work.
I'd like to be able to setup a local network & use the desktop machine
as a gateway to our ISP, but because changing network configurations
in Windows is such a pain, I'd like to be able to plug in the laptops
without changing their network configuration. When at home, the
laptops don't need to be visible to the outside world -- they'll
basically be originating connections only: telnet, ssh, ftp, smtp,
pop.
I've been looking through the documentation for NAT, but it is still
not clear to me if it can support this kind of thing -- it doesn't
seem to match up to any of the various configurations they describe.
Can anyone tell me whether such a network setup is possible with NAT
(or some other way) and point me to the best model(s)/example(s) which
I can use to understand how to configure my setup properly?
Thanks in advance!
