I'm sure it's simpler than it sounds. I hope. ;-) I have a windows workstation on an ethernet network. I'd like to know how hard it would be to bring in my BSD laptop with a PCMCIA ethernet card and connect to the TCP/IP service on my network, instead of connecting with my windows desktop machine. If this can be done without involving my sysadmin, how do i handle the config options normally done by windows, such as IP assignment, my computer 'name' on the network, etc? Please keep in mind i am inexperienced in ethernet. Jonathon -- Microsoft complaining about the source license used by Linux is like the event horizon calling the kettle black.
