If the other machines you are trying to ping have M$ firewall enabled,
then you need to enable incoming echo request in the M$ firewall ICMP

Try to check the output of "ifconfig" on the FreeBSD box when you
connect it to the 100m hub / 10m hub / radio.
Also try "route get <M$ BOX IP>" on the FreeBSD box and check the
