I take it that you *have* made the recommended changes to your
/etc/rc.conf? ie:

    ifconfig_ep0="inet 208.165.194.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"

You'll have to send the results of `ifconfig -a' as well on your
host-box as well as the gateway; have you checked that the netmasks on
both the boxes are the same?
