192.168.2.1/24 is in a different network than 192.168.10.1/24. Your 
gateway and your workstation will not be able to communicate with one 
another.

You essentially gave yourself an address outside of the gateways LAN 
address scope, and then proceeded to route all unknown traffic to yourself.

You probably want:

# ifconfig rl0 192.168.2.100 255.255.255.0

...and

# route add default 192.168.2.1

Then, for name resolution:

# echo "nameserver ip.of.isp.dns" >> /etc/resolv.conf
