You don't need a router. I've had a setup very similar to
yours in the past (now, I'm on broadband and use OpenBSD
for my router/firewall/filter)... Any rate, I FreeBSD will
make an excellent router/more for you. It just takes a
learning process.
Provide the outputs from the "uname -a", "dmesg -a",
"ifconfig -a", "cat /etc/rc.conf", cat "/etc/hosts"
commands. If you have compiled and installed a custom
kernel, then also provide the kernel ("cat
"/sys/i386/conf/KERN.NAME.GOES.HERE").
There are many possibilities for the server not talking to
the modem, and it's impossible for anyone on this list to
narrow those possibilities down unless you provide a
reasonable amount of information.

PS "Top posting" is where you provide your reply to the top
of the message. It makes following messages on mailing
lists _very_ annoying. Lots of folks on the list are
sticklers about it, but it _does_ help if replies are
appended to the bottom of the message (or integrated within
the message). :)
