I'd like to be able to work on files while I'm at home. Scott - an option you may wanna consider is setting up a vpn. Once set up, the vpn can allow samba traffic to your home machines, allow you to map drives in winALL, etc. Quite a bit more secure than just allowing samba through your public interface too... Another option might be SFTP, the free program 'WinSCP3' has a kinda nice interface, and of course sftp is part of freebsd already. hope this helps a bit ~j -- Jonathan T.
