[-- Attachment #1 --] First of all, I'm wondering about using X Windows with FreeBSD on my computer with a Geforce 256-based video card. I know I need one of the X4 versions, but since I haven't had any luck in getting my DSL modem to work under FreeBSD, the first thing I need to deal with is my connectivity problem. I am running FreeBSD dual-boot with Windows ME... I've got a Netgear FA310TX 10/100 NIC and am using a Linksys router with firmware that runs PPPoE for my DSL modem. So I'm guessing all I need to do is get my NIC running under FreeBSD. Does anyone know where I can find some good tutorials for installing a NIC under FreeBSD, any specific drivers for my NIC, and additional information on networking between Windows and *NIX systems so I can try to use the printer on another Windows machine on my LAN?
