Hi, I got freebsd 4.3 installed a while back on an old 486 machine. It's been running great and I've been learning a lot! I installed Apache and have that working, now I want to be able to put in the ip of my old box from one of my windows boxes and see all the apache stuff by typing localhost. I already have all the machines hooked up to a router, I'm running @home. When I first setup freebsd I used the hostname and domain name that @home gave me. So my hostname was hostname.domain and my domain was domain ( :D ). I went into /etc/rc.conf and changed the hostname from oldhostname.olddomain to newhostname.newdomain. I then restarted my machine. Now, I can ping the opposite machine from both ends. I have 2 questions though. 1, how do I share files with both machines. Is that Samba? Right now when I go to My Network Places on the windows machine I can't see the name of the bsd machine. Same thing with the bsd machine, how do I go through files on the windows machine? The windows machine is already setup to share files through the networks. 2, how do I make it so that when I type in the machine ip address in internet explorer on the windows machine I see all the stuff in the /apache/htdocs folder. Do I need to edit the httpd.conf file for this? Or do I need to play around with ports? Thanks!
Also, the reason I didn't post this in the networking linux or webserving forums is this kind of fell inbetween both and also I've posted in there before and nobody answers. I hope it's ok.
