You can ask the gateway to masquerade all of your packets, but if that
is not possible, you will have to use a proxy.

If you have a proxy server, under netscape set the proxy (in the
advanced options).  For lynx, apt-get etc.  Just export http_proxy and
ftp_proxy like so

export http_proxy=http://proxy.your.domain.name:proxy_port_number

like

export http_proxy=http://localhost:8080

similarly export an ftp_proxy.  You could also set this in lynx.cfg
in /etc/ or in ~/.lynxrc
