OK, I'm pretty new to this routing stuff, but I thought that the .1 address was normally reserved for a gateway. If so, shouldn't the BSD box have it's own IP address and a gateway address? With that in place, the Win box has an IP address of .2 and a default gateway address of .1. The BSD box would have say .3. I'm not sure where you configure the gateway stuff on the BSD box though - I haven't got that far!
