I declared my limited knowledge of windows networking (which amounts to getting win98 boxes to share FreeBSD served files and modem) beforehand but still the questions kept coming ('I've done that and it still doesn't work' 'does TCP/IP need to be binded to something?' 'what's DNS?' 'what's DHCP?') Eventually I signed off with 'try this and if it still doesn't work, search on the internet. there are a billion websites out there which know more about windows networking than I do' and went to the pub. I got back to a message saying 'that didn't work - what do I do now? At which point I kinda exploded. But we're talking again now :) -- Andrew McKay <andy@openirc.co.uk> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
