I have a question/problem concerning my FreeBSD machine.

I have one machine running FreeBSD and another one runnying Windows 95.
Both have ethernet cards installed and I have both connected to a hub.
I am trying to set up a simple network between the two computers and I
trying to set up a simple network so I can telnet from my 95 machine into
the FreeBSD machine.  The FreeBSD kernel recognized my ethernet card,
since I added support for it into the kernel.  Loopback for the BSD
machine works fine, but I just cannot seem to get 95 to see it.  What
options do I have to set up in the rc.conf file so 95 would recognize it?
Do I have to set up the machine as a gateway and/or router?  Any
help/info/reference would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
