To just hook them together you don't need anything on the FreeBSD side. If you want to be able to "mount a network drive" on the win box, then run Samba on the FreeBSD box and host things there. Now, if you mean you have both FreeBSd and Win98 on the same box and have it dual booted. Then, you can mount the Win disk space when FreeBSD is running by doing a mount_msdos or making the FAT slice used for win an msdos type in your /etc/fstab file. Then you can read and even write your msdos disk space while in FreeBSD. But, going the other way, you cannot access FreeBSD disk while in the MSwin side of the machine. ////jerry
