I am running a newer version of FreeBSD, thus the change from
/etc/sysconf to /etc/rc.conf.

What is the output of ifconfig -a on the solaris box?
What is the IP and broadcast on the NT box?

On the FreeBSD box, what is in /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/host.conf, and
/etc/hosts?  Look at the man pages on these files.

For my local net, I have hosts first in /etc/host.conf and each of the
192.168.xxx.xxx machines in /etc/hosts.  This prevents FreeBSD from
going to the nameserver for name resolution before looking at the
local hosts.

Can you ping the solaris box with 'ping 192.168.0.2' or whatever?

In /etc/rc.conf, I have:
