Dear FreeBSD,
 
I have downloaded and installed several of the latest versions of FreeBSD successfully,
but I have a problem.
 
I am using ClarkConnect to share my home internet connection among several PCs because it
simply installs with options and features that I wish to utilize. That is to say, it issues IP addresses,
protects my home network with a stealth firewall, and allows me to share files with Windows machines.
I am also able to utilize these features with Corel Linux 2nd edition.
 
With these two Operating
Systems, I can see other PCs in my network, and I can see shared items such as printers,
directories, etc. and I can easily access them. So far, no matter what I've tried or what I've read,
I haven't been able to accomplish this with FreeBSD.
 
I REALLY would like to use FreeBSD, rather than these others for sharing my internet
connection, etc. I like FreeBSD. It has a great many features that I
really appreciate. Among the most important to me is the cost, the stability, and the
functionality. My goal is to eventually abandon Windows altogether.
 
I guess I haven't found the proper documentation to properly configure FreeBSD the way
I'd like. I am wondering if you can provide, or point the way for me to learn how to accomplish
the network configurations that I would like to achieve with FreeBSD?
 
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide.
 
Art Schmidt
