It sounds like you're not picking up a default route via DHCP.
Do a 'netstat -rn' and see whether there's a default route already set
(maybe you've defined something in /etc/rc.conf)  If there is already
a default route dhclient will not be able to set the one that your
dhcp server is giving you.

As root try:

# route delete default
# killall dhclient
# dhclient

This should get you up and running.
