First I apologise for starting this thread. I have been working on this for 4 consecutive weekends and need some pointing in the right direction. I have read the installation and how to manuals. I think the reason I am not "getting it" is the difference in nomenclature and since FreeBSD must meet a multitude of configurations - I am having trouble diciphering which settings are best for this application. Also, I haven't fully absorbed the nuances or architecture of FreeBSD 6.4.
My system is a Dell PE1600SC server, dual Xeons, 256Mb memory. FreeBSD is installed on an adaptec RAID 5. It is in a private network (10.0.0.x). The router/hub/dsl/wireless assigns the IP address and has a firewall - all I want the server to do right now run samba then apache then sendmail for a start.
I have been running the original factory installed Linux 9 since October 2003 (5.5 years!) without any (known) problems. The linux installation is on its own (separate from the Adaptec RAID 5) IDE drive. I know that someday the Linux HD will fail, which led me to FreeBSD 6.4 because it is the lastest "solid" configuration (am I wrong?).
So my current configuration has both Hard drives in the box and I switch the BIOS to boot from either the IDE or the PCI (RAID array). This is not the problem as I originally was switching between both drives by disconnecting one and reconnecting the other however using the BIOS is easier allowing me the max time on the weekends to work this problem. I can only work this issue over the weekend because the business needs the server during working hours M-F.
All I want to do is provide the same services that my Linux configuration is providing namely (in priority);
1) SAMBA
2) SAMBA
3) Did I mention SAMBA?
4) Apache
5) SendMail
Because I am a FreeBSD/Network/Server dimwit I thought I could do the configuration but I am giving up to the greater FreeBSD community for help - please! Here is my situation.
1) SAMBA not allowing me to log on on an x-terminal in a FreeBSD environment here is what I get:
smbclient //This_Server_01/username
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
I collected information from a Samba-howto-with-FreeBSD and it said to turn on NetBIOS in the inetd.conf file so I did - NOW I have got errors coming from the main terminal. The errors are:
netbios-ssn/tcp: bind: Address already in use
netbios-ns/udp: server failing (looping in use)
so there is a conflict but because I am a dimwit I do not know what is conflicting with what. (Can someone please help?)
I did check this on this forum and everyone asked for a netstat -a so here is mine:

2) With this FreeBSD configuration up on my network, you cannot explore inside the work group on My Network Place on any windows machine on the same network. Also you cannot ping anyone on the network. Its as if this server has clamped the network down and I do not know how to unclamp it.
3)xming - a windows ssh server - will only allow you to log on as a user but not as root.
Once I get Samba running correctly I think everything else will fall into place. My view is I have not setup the network configuration correctly and configure the firewalls and netbios correctly. If there is infomation that describes this it went right through me. And I have committed at least 90 hours trying to get this this new FreeBSD going so I know that whatever I am doing is wrong and the answer is probably easy - but as I said - I am dumbstruck.
Sorry for the diatribe but I need some expert - adult help.
