Hi.

I imagine that now you have cable modem connected to ipfirewall, and next
to PC. So you should change your default gateway destination under FreeBSD
Check this "netstat -rn"  "route add default ip_adress_3com", and DNS
should be in /etc/resolv.conf. Something like this:
nameserver ip_address

Good luck :-)
