: 1) FreeBSD machine  ( 130.245.150.1 netmask 255.255.255.0)
: 2) Host machine     ( 130.245.150.0 netmask 255.255.255.0)

Now, I'm no tcp/ip expert or anything, but I don't think
that you're supposed to configure an interface having an ip
address with zero as the host part.  With the netmask you're
using, the last byte is the host address, the rest being the 
network address.  So don't use the address 130.245.150.0.  


I hope this helps ( and hope it's correct ;-)
