Note that the WfW clients have to run some TCP/IP stack. e.g. TCP/IP-32. Win95 has TCP/IP per se. I assume you want to run FreeBSD as a server to the WfW/Win95 clients. How does your nmbd/smbd start look like in /etc/rc.local? I recommend to add a -B <broadcast-address> to the nmbd start line. > > Can I create my own ethers file and assign ip addresses to the WFW/Windows > clients, or is a router required? No router required. What do you mean by ethers file? I doubt that DHCP fully works int FreeBSD/bootpd so I recommend to use hardwired IP-Addresses in the Windows PCs (does WfW/Win95 support DHCP?) I thought that would only NT do. > > > Wayne > --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
