   I think this is your problem.  You can't have the same subnet on  
two distinct interfaces (it confuses the stack).  With your mask, you  
are using the subnet 216.18.166.160 on both.  They need to be  
different.

Why do you need to have the two interfaces on the BSD box?  Seems  
like you can have a single subnet with all systems connected to the  
"cable" that connects to your ISP's bridge/router (I'm making a few  
leaps of the imagination here, to guess your real configuration).

Regards,

Justin
