    | http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html

    # route add default gw 192.168.1.1

    if you forgot defaultrouter in rc.conf.

    Provided you nic is configured properly.

    Else,

    to configure NIC,

    # ifconfig rl0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

    change rl0 according to your NIC.
    Make sure that 192.168.1.2 is not assigned to any other machine on the
    network.
