I tried, but couldn't get it to work. I followed a proxy tutorial on
http://www.aboutdebian.com/proxy.htm
However, the connected PC3 (running a Knoppix CD) keeps saying " Network is unreachable".
Tutorials on proxy's and gateways are easy to find, but the main problem is that they handle a situation without an existing router.
Could you please help me further.
