I find that during the blocking behaviour, when I try and ping the windows box, a tcpdump shows that each second ping attempt is followed by a response (it appears) from an IPv6 address (10.1.1.99 is the freebsd host):
Virtual terminal 1:   $ tcpdump > tcpdump.out
Virtual terminal 2: $ ping 10.1.1.173 [my win2K box, named mpworkstation]
Virtual terminal 1:   $ CTRL-C
Virtual terminal 1:   $ cat tcpdump.out

I am trying to resolve a connection timed out problem.  The problem
occurs when I attempt to ssh, or http to my freebsd host from my
windows (2K) box.  About 3/4 of the time I get a "Connection timed
out" when I attempt to ssh into the freebsd host.
Coincident with this behaviour, I can not ping my windows box from the
freebsd host, and when I try I get no packets returned.

Meanwhile, the freebsd box at no time has any problems pinging google,
only the local network. I recall having a sockets timeout variable or
something that needed tuning when I ran freebsd as a http / ssh server
before .  Can someone provide a hint as to how I can resolve this?
Thanks,
Matthew

Does the FreeBSD box access the Internet through the same link as it
reaches the Windows machine?  [I'm guessing not, but you didn't say.]

Yes, both are plugged into the same router/switch, a Cisco Catalyst 2900.

Is there anything in the logs or on the console?
The logs do not show anything related, however a tcpdump during the ping does show something, see above.

Does the link light
stay on for the FreeBSD machine?
The network adaptor link light appears broken as it is always off.
