I don't actually have a gateway. I have two systems connected by a switch. 
That must be the problem then? Are linux and netBSD so dissimilar that you 
need a gateway so that they can communicate?

Well, after reading a little on making a gateway it appears that I need to 
have two ethernet cards and modify my kernel (according to 
http://cwrulug.cwru.edu/talks/gateway/kernel_modifications.html).

Please, let me know whether this is so or not. If this is true then give me a 
bit to follow the directions at the previously mentioned website and to set 
one of these computers up as a router.
