I noticed that the order of operations in the static config was
important.  One has to set the nwid first, and then set the "normal"
ifconfig.  My /etc/config.ray0 file is effectively: 

nwid somelongpassword
inet 192.168.197.1

3 out of the 4 machines can dual boot into mswindows.

I can change the nwid under netbsd for all the machines and things
work fine.  I can't get the mswindows machines to talk to netbsd
machines.

I was wondering if the mswindows machines might be prepending the
"workgroup name" to the nwid "password" (or some other such
silliness).
