You know, one thing that occurs to me is:  are you obtaining your IP
addresses from (your ISP's) DHCP server?  If not, are you sure you are
giving your new FreeBSD web server the right address?  If the address you
are using is incorrect, it's quite possible that the machine you are 
(successfully) pinging isn't the FreeBSD machine, just another unrelated
host that responds to ping, as most hosts do, but doesn't have a web
server running.  If your machines are connected to the ADSL modem via a
switch (which is how it sounds like you have things set up), the FreeBSD
web server would still see and respond to the traffic addressed to its
(incorrect) IP from your two other machines.

I can think of two ways to test this:  One, ping the host from the
external non-working machine and monitor the FreeBSD machine to see if
it is being pinged.  I'm sure there's a way to do that, I just don't
know what it is :)  The other is to temporarily switch IP addresses
with one of your other known working machines and see if you can access
the web server via that address.
