    Hi. Do you have two network cards or one? I'm assuming one is
    connected to the Internet, and the other is connected to the regular LAN
    network. You can route them using the route add command, and once you
    get it working you can put these into the rc.conf to make the change
    permanent. The handbook has a lot of details on this.

    Also, making BSD a gateway router is not very safe unless you use a
    firewall. Currently I am using FreeBSD at home, and I am attempting to
    make it a router. However, I don't want to use it as a gateway/router
    until I master using it as a firewall as well.

    regards,
     Joaquin
