Thanks for your help. Would you happen to know if setting up the FreeBSD box as a DNS server would allow network browsing over the PPP link??? I have no idea how to bimap a broadcast address along subnets!!! But that is something I'm gonna have to learn! I only have one subnet, so I'm not sure that'll work in this case. Thanks again. >From: Harald Schmalzbauer <h@schmalzbauer.de> >To: "Drew Robertson" ><the_brothel@hotmail.com>,freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: FreeBSD as dial up server... >Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2003 12:46:29 +0100 > >On Saturday 20 December 2003 02:57, Drew Robertson wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm working at getting my FreeBSd 4.8 system to act as a dial up RAS > > server... > > > > At the moment, I have almost everything working... yay! > > > > My question to anyone that knows... my FreeBSD system is running SAMBA >and > > is part of a workgroup in my home... > > > > Is it possible from a dial up client to view the Network using network > > neighbourhood??
