Sounds like you've no "default route" on the FreeBSD box.
Do you have "add 0 0 a.b.c.d" in your ppp.conf as per
the docs (go to http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html for current
docs).
Otherwise, have you got any "dfilter"s set in ppp.conf ?
The best way to analyze this is with tcpdump. Run it
on your NIC interface and another invocation on the tun
interface, and watch for the win95 packets.
