Although progress is being made on getting detail, it's still
insufficient (and, not entirely consistent? if the connection in
question is *wired* then probably the fact that a wireless access
point exists on the same subnet is not likely relevant). Anyway, I
do not have a clear vision of what connects to what, how.
The relevant portions of rc.conf, ifconfig output (and ipconfig
output from the M$ box), the syntax of the tcpdump, the specs of the
box, and other relevant details might spur more response. A simple
ASCII representation of the network might help.
FWIW, I've seen tcpdump behave poorly if the box or card just
doesn't have the horsepower required to parse the volume of all the
packets being seen on the network.
re: can't ping M$ box... M$ firewall sounds like the most likely
culprit. If you try to ping and get no response, does the M$ box
nevertheless show up in FreeBSD's arp table (compare arp -an before
and after the ping test)? If the MAC address shows up, you've got
connectivity just fine, but something's dropping the ICMP packets.
PS to Abu -- your written English is as good or better than many
native speakers of the language, so don't apologize for it. =)
