Hi, I was wondering what the resolution was to this, as I (a *nix "newbie") am trying to accomplish a very similar thing: OS 10.1 via hub to a Pentium running FBSD 4.6.2 to a cable-modem internet connection. I can't get past the FBSD box from the Mac though the FBSD box can see the internet just fine. (The firewall is disabled. And I can ping, telnet, & FTP from the Mac to FBSD just fine.)
