Routing problem

[Clayton F]

This setup appears a little confusing. Does your ISP give you a static 
or dynamic IP address to the internet? It would also help to see the 
interface configuration info in your rc.conf file.

generally speaking, your external interface  should have the ip address 
assigned by your isp, not a private network address like you describe. 
You should also have a valid address to a dns server, rather than being 
referred to your dsl modem's private ip address.

#my rc.conf (cable modem, with ip dynamically assigned - I'm using 
192.168.1.0 as my private network range)
gateway_enable="YES"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
network_interfaces="fxp0 dc0 lo0"
hostname="vesta.bitheaven.net"
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"

If this doesn't help, send more info
