Note that the WfW clients have to run some TCP/IP stack. e.g. TCP/IP-32.
Win95 has TCP/IP per se.

I assume you want to run FreeBSD as a server to the WfW/Win95 clients.
How does your nmbd/smbd start look like in /etc/rc.local?
I recommend to add a -B <broadcast-address> to the nmbd start line.

No router required. What do you mean by ethers file? I doubt that
DHCP fully works int FreeBSD/bootpd so I recommend to use hardwired
IP-Addresses in the Windows PCs (does WfW/Win95 support DHCP?)
I thought that would only NT do.
