Sounds like there is some layering confusion here.... Anyways, if your user can ping/telnet to your machine then then there should be no network reason why your user can't mount volumes that you have made available, using NFS or similar. If your machine and your users machine both use dialup/PPP to connect to the Internet, you will need to make sure that both ends are dialed in before trying this. A successful ping will prove there is connectivity between you. -Steve Greg Haa wrote: > I have set up FreeBSD 3.1 Stable.
