'ed0' is assigned to 10.0.0.1 with netmask > 255.255.255.0 > Client's have IP addresses as 10.0.0.100, 10.0.0.101, 10.0.0.102 etc. Can you ping any of the clients from the FreeBSD machine? I.e., does ping 10.0.0.100 tell you that the PC cannot be reached? This is the first level of connectivity test. By the way, a netmask of 255.255.255.0 for 10.0.0.1 is just going to confuse things. Until you really understand how netmasks work, let the system pick the default netmask. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
