It's hard to tell *all* the things that may go wrong without knowig your 
setup (what routers you have, their addresses, your DNS server etc.), but 
I'll give it a shot:

First problem. LEAVE lo0 IN!!! Some things may go south without the 
loopback interface. Same goes for the ifconfig_lo0 below.
Your network_interfaces should read "ed0 lo0"

This won't work! You've set the host on the network 207.123.60. The 
router must be on the same net (looks like a typoe to me...)

Should probably be left empty.

You probably don't need a routing daemon. Unless you know why you need 
one I'd set router_enable to NO.
