Ah ok, my mistake. I didn't understand how your machines were set up.
Let me back up a bit and ask a couple questons:
1. How are the FreeBSD box and the Win98 box connected to each other?
2. How is the Win98 box connected to the Internet?
I *think* your setup looks someting like this:
+-------+ +-------+
|FreeBSD|----serial cable----| Win98 |----> Internet
+-------+ +-------+
Is this correct?
