I am using ClarkConnect to share my home internet connection among several PCs because it simply installs with options and features that I wish to utilize. That is to say, it issues IP addresses, protects my home network with a stealth firewall, and allows me to share files with Windows machines. I am also able to utilize these features with Corel Linux 2nd edition. With these two Operating Systems, I can see other PCs in my network, and I can see shared items such as printers, directories, etc. and I can easily access them. So far, no matter what I've tried or what I've read, I haven't been able to accomplish this with FreeBSD. I REALLY would like to use FreeBSD, rather than these others for sharing my internet connection, etc. I like FreeBSD. It has a great many features that I really appreciate. Among the most important to me is the cost, the stability, and the functionality. My goal is to eventually abandon Windows altogether. I guess I haven't found the proper documentation to properly configure FreeBSD the way I'd like. I am wondering if you can provide, or point the way for me to learn how to accomplish the network configurations that I would like to achieve with FreeBSD? Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide.
