You can definitely make it a server (I assume you mean file and print server) using the samba package. The only way to make it a client to the NT server (again, I"m thinking file and print) would be if the NT server were running nfs, which is possible, but 3rd party add-on. --sf -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
