First, you have to excuse my English it is my third language and I do not have that much experience. This seems like a puzzle to me and I cannot figure out the topology of your network. * Can you ping the M$ box from FreeBSD? You need to enable incoming echo request in M$ firewall. * Are both systems on the same subnet? * Have you tried to plug the radio directly into FreeBSD box and test the connection like you did for M$ box? * Does your FreeBSD box have a firewall configured? You mentioned that the connection works if you plug the radio directly to M$ box. Does it also work when you plug both to the hub? If not then it might be a crossover cable problem. As you can see, many pices in this puzzle need sorting out. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled
