Probably a dumb question,

but when you do a netstat -rn, do you have a default gateway? and is it
your routers IP?

eg:

xwing# netstat -rn
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            65.175.136.1       UGSc       15 57408426   sis0

except for 65.175.136.1 it should be 10.0.0.2 according to your setup.


if it is not, try doing a route add default 10.0.0.2 and then try
pinging again.

to make the change last through a reboot, check /etc/rc.conf for a line
that says:

defaultrouter="10.0.0.2"

hope this helps
