The problem seems not from FreeBSD or directly related to FreeBSD, but
please give me some advice.

I am trying to have the following configuration:

                    |-------|
                    | Win9x |
                |---|  #2   |
|---------|     |   |-------|
| FreeBSD |-----+
|    #1   |     |
|---------|     |   |-------|
                |---| Win9x |
                    |   #3  |
                    |-------|

FreeBSD #1 (3.1) has IP address 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask
255.255.255.0
Win9x #2 has 5 computers with IP address 192.168.1.2 to 6 (subnet mask
255.255.255.0)
Win9x #3 has 2 computer with IP address 192.168.2.1 to 2 (subnet mask
255.255.255.0)

#1, #2 are okay, but #3 couldn't connect to the network.  It could
connect to the network when I change the IP address from 192.168.2.x to
192.168.1.x.  In other words, it's IP is incorrect.  But, I don't know
why it is incorrect.  I would appreciate it if someone could help me
solve the problem and tell me the reason.

In addition, I would like to change the FreeBSD #1's IP address to
192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.  Is it right that I only
need to change the address inside rc.conf?

Thank you in advance.

best wishes,
Wai Chan
