If the machine works in Windows then 1 and 5 are probably OK.

To help diagnose the problem, please post to the list the output of the
following commands:

  ifconfig -a          # shows what interfaces you have & how they're conf'd
  netstat -rn          # shows your IP forwarding table

You can redirect the output of these commands to a file, e.g.

  ifconfig -a >/tmp/netinfo
  netstat -rn >>/tmp/netinfo

then paste /tmp/netinfo into an E-mail message, to save having to retype
what you see on the screen!

Can we see the contents of /etc/rc.conf too please.

Regards,

Brian.
