Hello Start with the easiest task. If your cable company is like the companies I have dealt with you are assigned one IP address. In order to share you need a gateway or route using a some type of address translation to connect your computers to the internet. There are two different method of doing this buy a cheap gateway (linksys, netgear, ....) or you can use your FreeBSD. If you decide to use your FreeBSD computer you will need to ethernet cards, and a hub. Connect the modem to one of your ethernet cards. Plug the hub into the other card. You will want to set the FreeBSD server as a gateway and NAT. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routing.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html You may what to read the whole section on networking. Apache and samba - what is not working. Samba - Did you configure the /usr/local/etc/smb.conf file? Are you able to ping the server from your clients? Read the following: http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/index.html All I had to do to get apache was install it from the ports and type "http://localhost" in my web browser (this on your FreeBSD box). I am not sure what you mean it does not work? Install lynx, /usr/ports/www/lynx, (any other web browser will work) and type: $lynx http://localhost at the terminal of your FreeBSD computer. This should work. Before you post again do some reading, all your question are answered in the handbook and in the samba documentation.
