Instead of specifying your IP, try letting dhcp take care of this for you (as
you do with kde below). Add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_ural0="DHCP"
Then, ifconfig ural0 up will invoke dhcp to configure everything for you,
including your gateway and routing table. You may also want to look at your
routing table to see what's going on:
# netstat -nr
And flush the table if things go wrong with:
# netstat flush
I have to do this when moving from a wired connection to a wireless connection
in order to reset my default route (gateway). Btw, I use FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE
-- I found 5.4 wireless to be a bit flaky...
hth...
