Is your FreeBSD box hooked directly to the frame-relay or point to point connection to your ISP, or do you have a router and the FreeBSD box is hooked to the router over ethernet? It could be that your router (the one hooked to the upstream provider) has the entire class c routed to it's ethernet interface, in which you can only put nodes on it. If you set up that router to do private IP on a crossover cable to your freebsd box (multihomed freebsd), then on do gateway_enable in /etc/rc.conf, and from the other router hooked to your ISP you set a static route to the private ip address of your freebsd box. Then, on the other Freebsd nic, set an IP address and netmask for the NIC, then that will work. Have I thoroughly confused you yet? If your freebsd box is hooked directly to your ISP, then you just need to set your IP address and netmask for your NIC on the ethernet network. 255.255.255.0 will be your netmask. That's 24 bits for network and 8 bits for host.
