Quick question: I have a: Win 95 box, and a FreeBSD box Networked. They can ping each other so network is working fine. Now I want the Win95 box to be able to browse the files on the FreeBSD box [The files I want it to browse are on a Fat32 partition mounted under FBSD] Now I looked at ports and was about to install Samba, when I seen smbfs..... What exactly is smbfs? If I install that, will the win95 box be able to 'map network drive' to my FBSD box? All I need is file sharing -- I dont' need print sharing / I don't need the NT domain login thing etc.etc. -- Just plain simple realtime [mount / map network drive] file sharing. If not smfs, anything besides Samba --What does everyone recommend. www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
