internet connection sharing

[lost_loven]

after reading a few (well alot) of threads.. Still abit stumped and  looking for a good users guide or if I can get a step by step on setting  up a connection sharing for internet.

I have a a3000 and it is:

1) serial networked to a xp machine using amiga explore .. works great
2) parallel networked to a win98 machine using ami2pc .. works great

I would like to set either or machine for internet use.. nothing intense  of course and I know it will be slow but more or less for aminet and  some basic amiga sites, chat etc.   I believe the parallel set up would  be better of course but serial would be fine too.. so whats the easiest  and best way to do it? Please don't say go buy a network card cause  money is a issue right now.

Dunno how ami2pc works. But connect the Amiga via the parallell port to a unix machine like FreeBSD or Linux. On the unix machine configure the parallell port as "PLIP" and setup "proxy-arp" enabled connection to internet (PPP?).

Use traceroute, route -n get , netstat -rn (FreeBSD) to figure out how the routing tables are setup.

It's likely possible to do the same thing on M$. But requires more complicated procedure.
