You are absolutely right ... default gateway should really be the default 
gateway ... wich in my case it's also my dhco server ( WRT54G Linksys) ...

I think I made way too many assumptions on my post ...

So .. OP, please:

1) ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.105  netmask 255.255.255.0"
Assign _your_ static ip to "inet" ...   192.168.1.105 is mine and was there 
just to set an example.

Same thing applies to "netmask"

As a side note, your static ip, should be out of the range of the valid dhcp 
lease ips

2) defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

Assing _your_ defaultrouter ip to "defaultrouter" ... 192.168.1.1 is mine and 
was there just to set an example.

Thanks Glen for pointing that out.
