Sorry, I should have been more informative.

Presently, I have Samba set up on my FreeBSD machines. Windows can
access the shared directories without any problems. I also have Putty
installed on the Windows machines so I can directly access the FreeBSD
boxes when required.

I want the same functionality between the FreeBSD boxes. Eventually, at
least one of them will be run headless; the mail server in particular.

I can find a virtual cornucopia of information on networking Windows
machines; Microsoft even includes a wizard to accomplish it. However,
there does not seem to be as much information regarding non-Windows
products.

At present, all machines are connected, either wired or wireless,
through a linksys router.
