I think you'll have to start again with this, sorry.
You seem to be saying that the machines win95 and win98 use the FreeBSD =
machine
at 192.168.1.1 as a gateway ok, and yet neither win95 or '98 can ping =
192.168.1.1

One thought is that changing the windows hosts files wouldn't take =
imediate
effect (You'd have to re-boot) but AFAIK hosts would not even be looked =
at if
you ping by IP#.

Another is that the modem could be connected to the switch?  But I doubt =
it.

HTH
John.
