Okay, then you want NAT (network address translation). Easy, assuming the machine that is connected to the cable modem is the FreeBSD box. Simply set up ipfw and natd as described on their respective man pages. Natd will translate any outgoing packets on your fakenet to the real network, and vice versa.
