You forgot natd.

Am guessing your DSL or cable modem is doing NAT and assigning an 
address to your FreeBSD system. The modem will only accept traffic from 
the IP address it gave your machine. So when your other network routes 
thru the FreeBSD machine the modem igores it. Use natd to map that 
network traffic to the FreeBSD machine's external IP address.
