Need help setting up a LAN with 2 Windows machines and one FreeBSD
machine. The two Win98 machines can see each other with Network
Neighborhood but cannot see the FreeBSD.

The FreeBSD machine is set as follows in /etc/rc.local:

#The hub
ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
#Win98 machine 1
route add -host 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.10 2
#Win98 machine 2
route add -host 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.10.2


The FreeBSD machine can ping the hub, but when pinging the Windows
machines it shows '192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3): 56 data bytes' and then
just sits there, CTL-C responds '---192.168.1.3 ping statistics--- 9
packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss'

If someone can give a step-by-step to set up the LAN it would be much
appreciated.
