ip masquerading

[Su Yunfei <syf @ info . scsti . ac . cn>]

   Hello, everybody.

   Now I donot have enough ip address, I want to put another network 
connect to internet using the following two way:

       1. Cisco Internet Junction. 
   This is a gateway to using ipx in local network, if one machine asked 
for internet function, it must attach to a ij gateway. But we found that 
in Win95, if you start ij client, the tcp/ip packages in Win95 Plus can't 
run correctly, but netscape or other winsock application is ok. And the 
ij Server's efficiency is an anxious problem.

       2. Linux masquerading.
   Using a linux machine act as a gateway, and the interior machines 
using virtual ip address, virtual ip address can masqurade by linux 
another validable ip address. But they said there are some bugs in it so 
I worry about it's stability.

    Each of two ways has it's advantage and defect. Would somebody give 
me some advice about this, Or another way, another product.

   Thankful advancely.
