Donny,
the easiest way is to assign whatever your wingate computer's ethernet
card address as the proxy address in your browser and email program. I
did the same thing with my cable modem connection and it worked fine.
everything using wingate as a proxy should use port 80. I was not able
to configure my system to use ftp, but everything else worked fine. I
agree that making your linux box is a better idea, but I have never been
able to get 2 ethernet cards to work right in linux, so I use an NT box
and Sygate to connect my network to the net.
