Follow this steps: 1. Configure your kernel to see your NICs in dmesg(8) output. 2. Add "ifconfig_fxp0=inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0" like strings to /etc/rc.conf file and check if your NICs have correct IP addresses. Use ifconfig(8) command for this. 3. Add default route for your computer with the defaultrouter parameter in /etc/rc.conf. If you use, for example, pppd(8), then read documentation for pppd(8) how to set default route. 4. Then try to send packets to some hosts no in your LAN. 5. Say your computer to be a router with the gateway_enable variable in /etc/rc.conf. 6. ... try to do above steps first.
