FreeBSD runs the ftp daemon (ftpd) and telnet daemon (telnetd) by default, so you will always be able to ftp or telnet to it from any other machine (NT included, as long as you have installed tcp/ip protocol). To ftp to the NT machine you need to install an ftp daemon. I've done this on win95 by installing the anonymous ftp service in the network proporties, but I don't know about NT. Forget about telnet though, it's no can do. > > The documentation is no help and I think I must have done something > when setting up NT to restrict its communication to its workgroup or > domain.

Now you've seen the _light_ :) If you are really desperate, find out about samba, it will enable you to see the FreeBSD machine form NT via NetBEUI protocol. > > The machine (the NT one) has a CDROM built by Toshiba running thru > an atapi IDE controller/interface as drive D.
