I heard ipmasking won't allow me to connect to other machines on ports there is no proxy written for, like shoutcast and msmedia, from the windows machines. I want to keep the system dialed in, so I can run mail for my domain I registered. If the link goes down the mail never will come in as the servers try at weird intervals.
