Okay, I know this is going to be a VERY stupid question but I have not
seen any information which has answered this question in any of the
FAQ's. Or at least if it did I didn't understand it. So here's the
question?
Is it possible to use a FreeBSD box as a "file server" for
other PCs? What I am thinking of doing is having my FreeBSD box
sit off in the corner running away, checking for mail and stuff like
that whenever it feels like it (I do not have a dedicated link)
and I would use the other PCs (Desktop & notebook) to connect
through that via LAN cards running Windows.
Now I suppose that I could just set up a serial PPP session and do
pretty much the same thing but I was just wondering if I could connect
via the LAN cards. Thanks in advance for any ideas or points in the
right location for better information (or something to re-read...
Duane...
