Change ifconfig_fxp0 and add defaultrouter:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.2.72/24"
defaultrouter="192.168.2.1"

Quickie without reboot, type this as root:

ifconfig fxp0 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 192.168.2.1

FYI: /etc/resolv.conf was written by dhclient for you. Otherwise you
would have to create it and list your upstream DNS serivce.
