I have just configured a similar network after much pain, grief and a lot of help from the mailing list - but not forgetting my own stupidity... If the FreeBSD box appear in Network Neighborhood then to two machines *are* talking. Presumably you can mount Windows shares successfully using: smbclient \\\\<remote_machine_name>\\<share_name> But just what are you pinging? By name or IP address? If it's by name have you set up the names/IP addresses in Windows/hosts? - and do you have a similar etc/hosts file in FreeBSD?
