If there is, I don't think it's terribly reliable. :) I unluckily still end up putting NetBIOS on if I need to share resources between Windows machines. I tried to share with just TCP/IP but when you go to network neighborhood it's hit or miss if it'll see anything. Once you've actually got things connected it seems a little more reliable. Now, what I'd like to know is there any was I can kill Windows95's keep alive packets. I.e. when I have a dial-up connection (ppp with the -auto and -alias options,) with a time set up, Windows 9X seems to ping the network and keeps it alive. :( Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
