Ah.
according to my 4.1-stable rc.conf, it should be
gateway_enable="YES"
not gate_enable.

This is odd.
ie:
damoe:/home/keen%> su

(sorry, 172.16.0.1 is routed somewhere in my network so I could ping it
already..:)
Lets see what your ifconfig -a shows, then.
(or more specificly, ifconfig xl0 )
damoe:/root%# ifconfig xl0
