I'll leave that for SuSE people--I'm guessing there's some fairly easy way to do it. My experience is generally the reverse. That is, allowing Windows clients to access a FreeBSD machine. What I will do from time to time, especially for some back up scripts, is simply mount a network share. For example sudo mount_smbfs -I 192.168.8.10 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share share Let's explain that. The -I is for the IP address of the machine offering a share. Now, this is on an old NT4.0 domain, not an Active Directory one, so there may be differences, but //[EMAIL PROTECTED] My user name on the server. In other words, if my domain is scottrobbins.com and the machine in question is scott1.scottrobbins.com, sharing a directory called common, first, I create a mountpoint in my $HOME directory--that is /usr/home/scottrobbins. I might call the mountpoint commonmount. mkdir common Now, I mount the scott1 server's share, called common, so that I can access it from my home directory. I use mount_smbfs which is a FreeBSD command, I'm not sure if Linux also has it or if they use something like mount -t smbfs (the -t meaning type of file system.) I use sudo because on some systems, a normal user can't mount file systems, even in their home directory. So in this case it's sudo mount_smbfs -I 192.168.8.10 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/common commonmount > 2. How to configure the internet....(Also is it possible to use the > same ip address as my host win xp so that i dont create an ip > conflict on the lan.) I see from your sig that this is a vmware box. As I use FreeBSD, which uses vmware3, that is rather old, I found that it worked with host only networking--however, I'll leave that one to people who are more experienced with later versions of vmware. > > 4.
