I am running a software package called JanaProx. It
sets up a proxy server and email server on Windows
machines. It is clean and works really well (although
it doesn't like screen savers)
The machine that is running the proxy server
application is on IP 10.0.0.1

Firewall? I don't have a firewall. I have three
computers on a small home network. (4 once I get the
Newt on it)
All the other machines on the network use the 10.0.0.1
IP as a proxy to dial into the internet. The email
software (outlook express) also uses this IP for the
mail server. I don't have a DNS or anything like that
on the network.

Nope, no firewall

Are we talking about pinging from other machines on
the network? or Pinging from the newt?
I can ping anything I want once the proxy server dials
into the internet. I can also ping anything on the
network whenever I want. I don't have a PING program
for the Newt, so I don't know that part of the
equation.

Well, since I don't have a firewall, no...but I never
tried to PING the newt from any of the other machines.

btw, I took the Newt to work, set it up to dynamic IP
and can cruze the internet with no problems!
