The freebsd machine dosn't know where to send packets for 192.168.0.2 to -
add a static route like:

route add -net 192.168.0.0/24 172.16.0.2

(i'm guessing the netmask there, it may be /16).

Also the win2k box will need ip forwarding enabled (routing). (i have no
idea how to do that - i've only used win2k breifly).

I'm confused by the win2k machine having two default gateways - 172.16.0.2
and 172.16.0.1 - it should only need 172.16.0.1.

I wrote a very basic guide to tcpip routing for consume.net - it describes
almost exactly the problem you are having, you can find it here:
