Here is my problem, and let me bring in a little background information.

I have a friend (former boss) who just purchased a new machine that is running Lindows (I have never used), and he wants to download a bunch of software for the internet. He wants to borrow my internet connection to do it, because all he has is a dial-up, and it would take forever.

I connect to the internet via Earthlink Cable (using Time Warner's cable infrastructure). The problem with this, is that Time Warner, only allows one MAC address to connect to the internet, and mine is the one registered, so I can't just plug in his, and connect.

So I was thinking of doing the following, running a proxy server out of my computer, attaching a second NIC card to my computer, then connecting it to a hub that will connect to his computer.

My question is, can Lindows use proxy connections to connect to the internet.

Can I use MS proxy, or some other software would be much more efficient.

I don't want to be calling to change MAC addresses, since it's a resell service, it takes forever for them to do anything.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
