Just to exand on Sake's post, with your current setup you need
to create two /27 subnets.  One for your router's eth port and
the FreeBSD nic atttached to it.  The second for your internal
hosts.  If you can live with 30 internal hosts that's a viable
(though wasteful) solution.  And you'll be up in minutes.

If you need more internal addresses you need to take his advice
on getting a /30 for the router to FBSD connection and using
your /26 for the internal hosts.
