-Currently my network has 6 networks running Win 98 for the staff - It is shared on resource level like //danny/work, //danny/documentation - the printer is //accounts/canon - If I wanted to find out about sales stuff I might go to //sales/pricing I need something centralised so I can go //samba/documentation, //samba/accounts Then I want to install a TAPE drive to back things up Here are some of my proposal for the solution: - - Install Freebsd and NFS server. Get Freebsd to share the printer and the folders - I heard of some tool called Exalaber that can also do the job - Samba - to share files with Windows 98 and share printers with Windows 98 Question: - - Will Samba be able to solve all my problems? - If I configure Freebsd as a NFS server is it possible I can make Windows 98 a NFS client? - Maybe I better solution that may not involve Freebsd. Any advice will help alot. Thankss. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
