If you not using DNS server on you network, you need to edit the host
file on both systems on FreeBSD as you know has this in /etc and on
Windows it is %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc - just remember to
keep them in sync, Both Windows and FreeBSD can use the same hosts
file.

Longterm solution, setup a DNS server.

HTH :)
