# netstat -finet -rn
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            192.168.1.1        UGS         0     1437   bge0

I've these lines in /etc/rc.conf:

defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
ifconfig_bge0="DHCP"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"

Does this look right?

Many thanks
