Let me ask some questions to help diagnose this:
1. From the gateway: Can you ping www.freebsd.org? Can you ping 129.x.x.1?
2. What's in /etc/resolv.conf on the gateway and the client machine?
3. What does ifconfig display on the gateway?  Does xl1 show as "up" with a valid media type?
    Do your net card and hub both have link lights?
