After you purchase this, a free upgrade is availble for the 4.0 version. Winproxy shares internet connections seamlessly. The sharing is very simple to set up, but can be a little tricky. Good documentation at the Mfgrs. web site.

This would not work properly on my 3 Windows Me pc's. The host computer always required 3 attempts to boot up. The email support always responded within 24 hours, but they were not very knowledgeable. I tried several other internet connection sharing applications, including the newly released WinProxy 4 and found WinRoute Lite to be the best and easiest to configure. alan@computer-rescue.net

I found this to be the worst product I have tried to use for a long time. I downloaded the eval of the product and first succeeded in destroying my NT server. I contacted their tech support and they told me it was because I had been using Microsoft's Proxy Server.

In order to give them a fair chance, I built a brand new Windows 95-B machine. I tried to install their software and was told immediately to upgrade my Winsock.dll. I did. Then I installed their product and lost connectivity to my internal network.

Again I contacted tech support via email. To make an 8 hour story short, their tech support gave me TCP/IP settings that simply don't work or follow any book I have ever read. Then I learned after several hours that installing WinProxy will "toast" the TCP/IP stack on Windows95. I finally did get it running at a speed of about 1200 Baud across a cable modem.

I do find their tech support responsive, just not very knowledgeable.
