To connect your FreeBSD and Win95 machines, you'll need either a "cross over" cable, or a hub and a second cat5 cable. My recommendation would be to purchase an inexpensive 4- or 5-port hub and another cable; hubs are really quite inexpensive these days. Plug both of your network cards into the hub et voila: network (as opposed to NOTwork). -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
