Other that "un-hooking" ppp from IP addresses and having it use tun0 only, I'm in "high-cotton", cuz once I kill the ppp PID, I can now telnet/ftp from my win95 box to the FBSD one. ;)) There should be a way to set thingd up on the FBSD side so that if I want to dial out to your system e.g. (on which you have given me a temp. shell account) I can do so; AND have Samba do it's thing across my LAN with no interference from ppp/tun0.

I'll be searching the 'net for a solution. Thanks! -duke Calgary,Alberta, Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
