H. White > Well, you don't really say what type of connection you want. We have a couple of FreeBSD's here, and dozens of Win95/NT's. If you want to share disk space between them, you should use teh Samba package (it comes on the FreeBSD CD). However, what we do is just let Win95s Telnet and ftp the FreeBSD boxes. I guess that's what you want (at least that's what NetTerm is for). Make sure that the IP protocol on the Win95 is configured properly (it's in the Network control panel applet, look at the TCP/IP protocol properties for the details). Can you ping the Win95 machine from the FreeBSD machine (by using it's IP address)? For WFWG you'll need a TCP/IP stack (a separate product, but there are freeware versions) to get that functionality. Nadav
