Tim,

please give us some facts, for exmaple your /etc/hosts file, /etc/host.conf,
/etc/resolv.conf, the part of /etc/rc.conf that configures your network-card.
Once again:
1. check the device-configuration of your network card in /etc/rc.conf
   (IP and netmask)
2. setup your /etc/hosts file. You need a hosts-file on every machine in
   your net, ALSO on the NT-box. The hosts-file on the NT-box is similiar to
   the hosts-file on your BSD-box.
3. change /etc/host.conf that "bind" comes AFTER "hosts"
4. if you have need for an extern nameserver, setup /etc/resolv.conf
   with an nameserver-entry pointing to a running and functional nameserver.
5. That's it.

Looks like the TCP/IP-config of your NT-box is misconfigured.
