There is something pretty funky going on here. The first thing, and I
think it is the cause of the problem, is what I pointed out in the
previous mail. It looks like your al0 NIC seems to believe that its
MAC address is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, the broadcast address. And it looks
like the Win98 machine is not buying that. Now, the Win98
machine... what kind of card does it have? I can't seem to find a
manufacturer who has the 19:02:16 prefix. Something weird is going on.

All of this is a problem at the data layer and has nothing to do with
your IP settings, NAT, etc.
