it does for me. I built pre6 on Saturday and ran my Cyrix+Tmc system
as a masquerading firewall with a Windows 95 laptop sat on a private

behind it happily running Microsoft Exchange and Netscape. I could
certainly
ping the real network beyond the masquerading box. Is there anything
that
you want me to check out? Maybe I'll get pre7 and try again...
