I have installed FreeBSD succesfully on my Gateway M500 laptop. The only 
problem I have is that my laptop connects to the internet through a 
wireless router. My wireless card is working fine on the laptop and I 
can succesfully ping the router, but when I load up a webbrowser I get a 
"Cannot find webpage" error. So, it's confusing that the computer can 
connect to the router but not through the router to the internet. The 
output of ifconfig wi0 is:

wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
          inet6 fe80::202:2dff:feb3:a0e%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
          inet 192.168.1.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
          ether 00:02:2d:b3:0a:0e
          media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
          status: associated
          ssid 1475 1:1475
          stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
          channel 6 automode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
          wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

Everything is setup fine with DHCP. Wep is disabled on my router right 
now so the wepmode I think shouldn't matter. Any help at all will be 
greatly appreciated.
