I recommend my Ipfilter/ipnat internet sharing and DHCP automagic setup script www.roq.com/bsd/ http://www.roq.com/bsd/ipfilterscript.tar.gz just untar it and run it. Its for internet sharing with maximum security and minimum fuss/inconvenience. For file sharing install samba for accessing files from the server, is that what you wanted? pkg_add -r ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.6.2-release/All/sam ba-2.2.4_1.tgz Or if u are use the ports tree if u are cvsuping. And I use webmin to control your samba setup. www.webmin.com just untar it then run ./setup.sh ----- Original Message ----- From: art.ca To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 5:53 PM Subject: networking Dear FreeBSD, I have downloaded and installed several of the latest versions of FreeBSD successfully, but I have a problem. 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.
