use VNC to install Windows, but I've been unable to get the networking
working. I will provide details below, and include a summary up here. On
the guest, I have installed the latest version of winvirtio, and I have
configured static IP addressing. The guest can ping itself, but not the
host machine or anything external. It is worth noting that I am also
currently running a CentOS guest, and this can connect to both the host and
the outside world with no issues.

I had to disable offloading on the host NIC to get the network working
inside bhyve session. This seems to be a FreeBSD bug in virtio stack.
