Your IP address is in the 216.164.36.0/24 network, but you've made
10.17.44.XXX your default gateway, which won't work. The default gateway
must be in the same IP network/subnet as the interface which is attempting
to communicate through it.

Post the network settings from the Win98 side. Run WINIPCFG from the
Start->Run prompt, click the "More Info" button, and post all the
information there. I'll be able to translate that to FreeBSD rc.conf
settings.

One last question, though. Do you have a static IP address, or is it
supposed to be DHCP assigned?

Cheers,
Mick
