Salutations... My name is stephen... I have recently installd freebsd, after fighting with lunix, and discovered how much more organized the little demon is... I am an extream newbie, and I was hoping someone coule point me in the rt direction... I have a unique intel 486 DX2 66 mhz, 20 meg ram, 540 HD, isa, system runing 4.0 current ( not stable ) Freebsd OS, with a 14x mitsumi cdrom ( don't laugh :) Here is my problem... I have 2 roomates, and that's 2 computers one phone line, and a TCA cable modem ( not isdn ), my computer, and a partrige in a pear tree... we want to connect them all up, so we can, downlad, check e-mail, chat, port, you know ... stuff... I will buy a 3 com 10/100 hub in a few days, unless this message comes back with altering info, and some cat 5 cable... i have finished stream lining the kernel, and now am starting on trying to set up the network stuff... Here is where the problems start... I don't know how to assign DHCP to the 2 win 95/98 systems... I don't know anything about somba, or where it is... didn't see it in the ports collection... I'm guessing on how to set up my own os, and i was woundering how to set it up so that we can all use the same ip, otherwist its another 10 bucks for an additional 2 ip addresses :) well i hope you can point me to a page, or some one to enlighten me :) my icq # is 4252888 my email address is sjh003@latech.edu, or the puter i'm on now is lyl001@coes.latech.edu well thanks...
