It takes about a minute, and comes back with

  default: Host name lookup failure

this already seems to be happening:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:BD:53:D1:DB:43  
          inet addr:192.168.0.200  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:72 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:936 (936.0 b)  TX bytes:5040 (4.9 Kb)
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0x1000 


Maybe my freebsd isn't playing gateway like it should be?  how can I 
check that?

thanks
