OK, I must confess it ended up being a 'PEBCAK' error. When I installed
the Netgear 10/100 NIC in my Windows box, I set my NIC to strictly
100base/full-duplex. Bah!! I've got the same model NIC in both machines,
but the BSD box is running 10base/half-duplex. It never caused a problem
when I was running Win2k advanced server beta, but when that expired I
reloaded Win98... Thanks a lot, Tom, and the other folks that gave me
feedback. Geez...
