You will then access the cdrom from your win9.x or NT or DOS via your FreeBSD box. However, to write to the CDROM, you will net to install a few packages from the ports. Namely; 1) /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrecord 2) /usr/ports/sysutils/gcombust <--- Graphical Interface for burning CD's 3) /usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs 4) /usr/ports/sysutils/mkhybrid12 I have SCSI cdroms and know for sure that they work. If you have IDE CDROMs i cannot answer if they will work. As for your Samba installation put the following in the smb.conf: [cdrom2] comment = non-writeable cdrom path = /cdrom root preexec = mount /cdrom root postexec = umount /cdrom I use the above to mount one of the CDROMs (the non-writeable one) but you can mount both. Just make another share [cdrom] or [what-ever-you-want-to-call-it] but keep it to 8 or less characters or you will get a warning from testparms smb.conf about dos not being able to use > than 8 characters. I use dos sometimes and and cd to my j:\cdrom and view, cp and even use the files. Hope that helps :-) -Lanny On Wed, 11 Jul 2007, Michael MacKinnon wrote: > Hi there, > > I've got a network with a Win98 machine and a FreeBSD machine.
