Thanks for the response Bill The setup is... we have a freeBSD 3.2 unit acting as our web server, email server and firewall. It's running Apache, Squid, MySQL and PHP4. The unit acts as our link to the internet for our internal network. The system is setup is also setup as a fiewall to protect the internal network and this has been working fine for quite a while. I now have to add a Win2K box on the network to handle internet printing from a couple of branches we have. Hence my question. Which files do I need to change to allow external access to a specific internal IP address. Once again I've inherited this system and don't know much about Xnix.

Ahem ... First off, are you passing info at the TCP/IP layer, or through the application layer? If at the IP layer, it's simply a matter of making sure your firewall is configured to allow access to the correct ports. If you want to print from FreeBSD to W2K or vis-versa, look into the samba suite. It's in the ports and allows a lot of communication between SMB-based systems (W2K, for example) and UNIX systems (FreeBSD included) -Bill -- It may be that true happiness is nothing more than the ability to *always* know the right thing to say at the right time, whereas true misery is the state of perpetually saying to oneself, "What I *should* have said was..."
