Hi all, I just got another machine and wants to install freebsd on it. Now i have couple of NIC's lying around and want to use them on the machine with freebsd. One is a generic NE2000 clone and the other is linksys ether16 card. Now Would NE2000 cards work with freebsd? How can i set them up? Do i need to compile a new kernel? Can i pass some parameters at boot time? Is there anything special i can do at the time of installation so that the Nic can be recognized? Also is it possible to use SAMBA on FreeBsd so that i can see files on win95+NT machines on a network? I know some of my friends use linux+Samba and integrated their machine with win95+NT. Can i do the same on Freebsd? Umm also i want to run Xwindows on Win95/NT machine and want the Freebsd machine to act as host. Can someone point me to the right direction/ftp/website/list for this purpose? Thanks in advance for all your info.
