Thank you for the response. I checked netstat -rn and found the default
gateway was correct. I had just edited my sysctl.conf file:
#!/sbin/sysctl -f
#
# $NetBSD: sysctl.conf,v 1.5 2003/11/03 15:12:06 briggs Exp $
#
# sysctl(8) variables to set at boot time.
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
kern.maxfiles=1968
kern.maxvnodes=32678
vm.anonmax=95
# Default core name template:
#kern.defcorename=%n.core

# Number of kernel threads to use for NFS client
#vfs.nfs.iothreads=4

And rebooted. Now I am able to FTP out and get web pages off my netBSD box!
And although it is working correctly, I am not 100% certain why.

Anyway, thank you all!

Interesting. Can you run "netstat -rn" and see what it thinks
your default route is? For instance, on my box it says:

And 209.157.144.49 is, in fact, the correct address of my gateway.
