No, it won't normally. You should still be able to access it via your web browser by going to http://192.168.1.1/ (or whatever IP you used on the BSD box, or its name if you have DNS running) to test your websites, and telneting to it should still be fine. (Although I recommend you get a different telnet program since the windows Telnet program is rather crap. I use Tera Term Pro with the ttssh extension on the rare occasions I use a Windows PC.) If you do want it to show up, investigate Samba in the ports collection. (Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/, choose "Net" category, and you should be able to download the pre-compiled package from there.) The BSD box should then show up, and you can access parts of its filesystem as you would a shared folder on another Windows PC. You'll need to configure a few things for Samba to work, of course, but it isn't too painful. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
