Yes. There is a program called Sharity Light in the ports, which I think does just that. > Can i skip the ms networking and just get a TCP/IP connection? Probably. If the netowork is TCP/IP you should. Of course you won't be able to see the shares d:\ etc as you are used to. > Do i need to worry about netbeui? In these days almost all nets are TCP/IP and not netbeui. TCP/IP will then act as the carrier for netbeui. With sharity-light I don't think this is a problem. If you use the same IP for two boxes, your sysadmin will notice that a new ethernet number (arpwatch in ports) is using your old IP and get suspicious - is someone illegally snooping the net? You should be able to use FreeBSD at work like you suggests, but you'd better have a chat with your admin first.
