First I want to say thanks to everyone who has helped me, but I have more questions. I recently purchased 2 inexpensive ethernet cards. I would like to hook up my FBSD box to a Winbloze95 box. The PCI card I purchased for the FBSD box is an SMC8432BT (based on the DEC 21040 chip, recognized by the de0 drvier). The card for the Winbloze95 box is a generic NE2000 compliant ISA ethernet card (recognized by Winbloze95) I've quickly searched through the on-line handbook (both local & at FBSD.org) for info on how to get these 2 boxes to 'talk' to each other. Eventually I'd like to access the internet from the Winbloze95 box through the FBSD box which is running pppd on a faster modem than installed in the '95 box. What's the best, easiest way to configure these boxes? Is Samba the least difficult to set up and do the job I want it to do? If so, does anyone have some sample config file they could email me? Also, where can I find the info needed to correctly setup the Winbloze95 box? Here's the section of dmesg identifing the card (am I correct in assuming FBSD likes/can talk/use this card?): de0 <Digital 21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci0:14 de0: SMC 8432BT 21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 de0: address 00:00:c0:5d:65:0e de0: enabling BNC/AUI port Thanks again for your help. -- Burton Sampley Email: bsampley@best.com | home page: http://www.best.com/~bsampley
