Routing Woes

	I have a question that I thought that you could probably answer. I have setup a freebsd seedbox in my apartment.  This box has two internet connections (multi-homed server.). One is an ethernet connection behind a firewall that is connected to a Comcast modem. The other is my apartment's wifi. I desire to use the wifi for torrenting and my connection for http,ftp, and ssh access. The proper ports have been forwarded to the freebsd server from the firewall on the Comcast connection.  My problem is when the default route is set to go over the wifi, i cannot access the server from the comcast modem address. When my default route is set to go over the modem, my server is accessible to the outside world.

Due to the nature of the torrent-dameon i am using. I must have the default route go over the wifi connection. Is there a route i can add that will fix my problem? 

Thanks for your help.
