Your interface is vr0, not var0 ( I noticed this before - there is no
var0 interface in the kernel at all - ('grep var
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/ALL' returns nothing significant).

So follow the above advice with respect to vr0 - first, say,

ifconfig vr0 192.168.0.10 up
and the ping 192.168.0.1

&c.
