Best way I've found is to run Samba (in the ports) on the router - it doesn't need to offer any services, but it's a much cleaner way (and friendlier to Windeath) of doing this kind of thing. Basically, Samba can act as a domain master browser and "spread the word" about shares offered on other subnets. =20 There's a big section on doing this in the Samba docs... mike --J/dobhs11T7y2rNN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjrSmFgACgkQJol4I8h9Gd91nACggc+txbiIPvXkK3DePtRQrSDj hQUAn2B8LYxEPl9JdG5h6FCEGN5rLBDb =eo5R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --J/dobhs11T7y2rNN-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
