On your win95 machine you'll need to install and configure IP and the 'client for microsoft windows'. After you do that, if you open the 'network neighborhood' you should see the Samba box and opening it should show you any shares it has. >Anyways I would appreciate any pointers for setting up the machines. >The two machines have both NE2000 compatibles.

For two machines that's a bit over the top. FreeBSD will default to simply insisting that you use your unix username and password when you mount a share. After that, of course, win95 will cache the username/password pair for that share if you let it. You can even use smbclient to look at your NT box (I don't suppose anyone is working on a "mount_smb" -- mount -t smb \\server\fs /mountpoint would be a good thing). -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "You see it.
