I am unable to ping the FreeBSD client from the Windows machine, and I cannot ping it from the Windows machine, either. Basic networking question: do I need straight or crossover cabling? When I ping from the FBSD client, I show activity of both the client NIC and at the hub (for the client's connection only), but nowhere else. When I ping from the FBSD gateway, I see activity on the gateway NIC and at the hub for both gateway and client. Cabling and card work just fine when connected directly to the DSL router, though...
