That works with Linux, so I didn't think it was the problem. I called my ISP, and guess what? The guy who answere the phone has FreeBSD at home! :-) So, he helped me with that (a little type in the hosts file and the fact that I was using 0.0.0.0 at the end of the ifaddr line were the problems. I think I tried without the 0.0.0.0, but then I got some other problem (the IP in that line didn't match the one in /etc/hosts). Anyway, it's working now! Thanks a lot to all who replied!
