I'm not clear on what you want to do. Please explain why you "*have*" to use 95 to dial your ISP. This is not usually the case with any ISP I've dealt with. Are you using userland PPP or kernel PPP? Userland PPP uses the tun0 interface to connect to the internal networking in FreeBSD, so you need it. If you are using the kernel PPP, it's ppp0. What does the ep0 interface connect to? Are you running Samba on the 3.3 box? What are you tring to accomplish? Are you just wanting to telnet or ftp into it from the 95 box, or are you wanting to do file sharing with M$ networking? If so, you need Samba to do M$ networking. Yes, you can have both interfaces running at the same time by netmasking them properly. > The crossover custom (professionally) made and pre-tested.

The usual way to set this up is to use the userland PPP on FreeBSD in the auto-dial mode to set up a PPP to your ISP, then use the ep0 interface to set up a LAN connection to your 95 boxes via their ethernet interface cards. Then you can turn on address translation on the PPP and the 95 box will look like it's directly on the internet. This is a common setup for small businesses with Windows computers and a FreeBSD box serviing as a gateway and auto dialup. -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
