I have a freebsd host running 2.0.5 that doesn't seem to be able to
ping or otherwise communicate to my freebsd machine although it can
talk to other machines on the same network.

I am also getting an error message on my FreeBSD machine like this:

arp: ether address is broadcast for IP address 204.74.97.1!
[...]

Anyone know what might be causing it?  Thanks!
