Hi!

status: no carrier and media (none) means that your fxp0 interface 
thinks it is not connected to any network. Maybe you have bad cable?
You need to fix this before you can get any further.

Once that problem is solved, I *think* you need to assign a 
non-routable IP address to fxp0 and another address on the same 
network to your laptop. But I'll leave explaining the details to 
someone who has actually used FreeBSD to share PPP connection - I've 
never done it myself.
