I have used linux for years from Redhat 7.0 to 9.0 and SuSE 9.1 to 10.1. I was able to setup samba very easily on redhat 9.0 and below but could never get it to work on SuSE and I just installed FreeBSD 6.1 on my dell laptop and I am wondering if any one has any tips on how to set it up (correctly) so I can share files between my win xp Desktop and my BSD laptop over a wireless network connection. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance, Mathew Stahl
