Probably a dumb question,
but when you do a netstat -rn, do you have a default gateway? and is it
your routers IP?
eg:
xwing# netstat -rn
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 65.175.136.1 UGSc 15 57408426 sis0
except for 65.175.136.1 it should be 10.0.0.2 according to your setup.
if it is not, try doing a route add default 10.0.0.2 and then try
pinging again.
to make the change last through a reboot, check /etc/rc.conf for a line
that says:
defaultrouter="10.0.0.2"
hope this helps
