The first thing I would check is that it's the BSD box that you are
actually pinging.  I'd try unplugging it and trying the ping again from
the IIS box.  Barring that, I would double and triple check the network
mask on the BSD box.  Also, make sure you don't have some screwy firewall
rules on the BSD server that prevent outbound pings.
Next, look at the output of 'netstat -rn'
You should see entries for the default gateway as well as your local
network.  If all looks good there, check your arp table with arp -a.  If
you don't see anything there, it's probably a layer 1 or 2 problem
(cabling/vlan).
There are many many possibilities for what could be wrong, but it's hard
for us to say.  Let us know what you find on those tests.
