Hi, I deleted freebsd-newbies, freebsd-net and freebsd-isp from the Cc: list.
Please do not cross-post to many lists. The -questions list is usually the right place to ask when you are not sure that the topic fits the charter of a more specialized list.

I think your FreeBSD machine shouldn't have two interfaces in the same subnet. At least if you're not doing some sort of bridging. If your vr0 interface really *must* have an address in 192.168.0.0/16 you could assign 10.0.0.0/8 addresses to FreeBSD's ed0 interface and to the Windows XP machines. Then, when you can freely ping around your network and see that all machines can see each other (through their 10.x.x.x addresses) enable NAT on the FreeBSD gateway to let the internal subnet access the rest of the world too.
