I think you need to turn off dhclient in /etc/rc.conf - or don't
turn it on.   Also, make sure your resolv.conf is correct and
the default router is correctly set in /etc/rc.conf to your
gateway address.    It looks like your ifconfig might be correct,
but either or both of resolv.conf or default router is wrong
or dhclient is running and clobbering them.
