I have IPFIREWALL and Samba running on the same machines both here and at work. I don't remember doing anything special other than making sure the FreeBSD machine and all the Windows machines had complete and accurate hosts files (/etc/host on FreeBSD, c:\windows\hosts on the Windows machines). That stopped DNS lookups and what not even before we used IPFW (when using ppp(8) and dial-up access, before we switched to DSL). If you don't have too many machines, you could try that (and if it doesn't work, holler again!). Otherwise, you might need to set up a DNS server for your internal network. --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
