I have already posted this elsewhere but I want to give it a go here. I have spent a few years off of computers and just reading and building, but I decided to set up a home lan to test os security and develop a deeper understandingI have hooked up three of the five but they don't seem to notice that the other exists One runs freeBSD and the others run win2000 pro and win xp pro all NIC's test fine and are working I have even switche dup hubs but they both work fine, but when i search for comps on my network I get nothing what do I need to do to make them get along????I got my hands on Lan Manager but it only shows the comp I downloaded it to and nothing. What am I missing for I feel stupid currently.
