Have you installed and configured SAMBA?? It is found in /usr/ports/net/samba. It is a bit of work to set it up but once setup properly works well. For more info go to www.samba.org > Can not log on to network or goto WWW the Internet.Kppp works,But > can't goto any web sites. > Netscape locks up. I don't know why netscape locks up... I would recommend using regular ppp and setting it to auto dial, more info on that can be found in the freebsd handbook. > > We also have a webhost and site on the web at http://www.wmsinv.com > IP=216.85.236.44 > Our ISP for the dailup connection is http://www.startext.net > DNS1=205.172.60.12 or DNS2=205.172.60.10 > > We would like to use our UNIX box as a mail server and ftp server > For free e-mail accounts and FTP for free Unix/Linux help and > software. > > My main workgroup is Wg-1 Windows98 2nd edition and Unix 3.3 FreeBSD > ..Please help. > > I want the windows98 box to serve our LAN/SOHO and main connection to > the internet / www I beg you to reconsider that one...

Again, you will have to install SAMBA and also install filters for the printers, I would recommend doing this using /usr/ports/print/ghostscript55 and using /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin to set it up. Also, you might want to consider setting up FreeBSD to be your printer server, I have done this and it works very well. > > Can not see UNIX Box from Main Box Windows96 from Network > Neighborhood.
