Okay, I figured it out.  I just really _hate_ the Microsoft
naming crap (like "Layer 3 bridging").  It is much, much
_easier_ to do this stuff with the terminology of RRAS in
NT4/200x than the IFW/ICS of XP IMHO.

Long story short, I _did_ have everything configured
correctly on the Windows side.  The problem was a combination
of switch (VLANs were setup on some ports), cabling (one was
absolute crap) and the Windows XP SP2 drivers _not_ working
with the ViA Rhine driver correctly.

But now everything is good on the hardware/driver side.  In
fact, I'm going through the 6MBps wireless broadband
interface right now to send this.
