Thanks for getting back with the funky art:-) Question on the network though, you mentioned: "but the idea is that all machines except .0.2 have one NIC connected to the hub" So according to your diagram, the FreeBSD box has two nics - 1 to Internet (?) and the other connected to ...., what? Which interface on the FreeBSD box has the IP address of 192.168.0.2? If of all the machines, ".0.2" connect to the hub, how do the others then see the FreeBSD box? You also mention: "0.2 has two NICs and is gateway/firewall" What packet filter do you have? For whichever you are using, please post the fw logs. Looking forward to hearing more on the information I asked for here.
