Hi, I have 2 computers (or should if Gateway ever finishes building one :), One is a gw2k 486DX 33mhz with a Pentium 83mhz overdrive chip and 20meg RAM, a 1.44kps modem The other is a gw2k Pentium Pro 200mhz with 64meg RAM, a 3.36kps modem. The Pentium Pro has a STB Virge/Vx 3d graphics card with 8meg ram, will this card work with FreeBSD? I am planning on adding a SMC Ethernet Combo card from gw2k to both, is this card supported? Both machines are running Windows95 and FreeBSD 2.2.1 Unfortunately the only knowledge of "networking" is setting up dialup ppp, so any help with the following questions would be greatly appreciated: 1) I want to be able to share a printer and files with both computers, how do I set this up? 2) Is possible to be logged on to the internet on the computer with the 3.36 modem and have the other computer use the same modem for access to the internet (instead of using the 1.44 modem in it)? 3) I would like to be able to connect the 2 machines regardless of witch OS each is running (FreeBSD -> FreeBSD,FreeBSD->Win95,Win95->FreeBSD) is this possible? Thanks, I really appreciate the help! Daniel Keller
