Do you have a default route?  Check out, and post, your systems routing
table using the command `netstat -rn`.  If you don't have a default
route you can add one with something like:
# route add default 192.168.0.1

Then add the line:

defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"

to the file /etc/rc.conf and it will automatically setup the route at
boot time.
