I can ping and access my router, but when I go to ping google, it says the host name cannot be resolved or some such thing. Basically, it's not able to get the address with the host name. Any idea what I did wrong?

You haven't told FreeBSD how to use the router.

route add default ip.addr.of.router

Also, you might want to verify that /etc/resolv.conf has a nameserver listed so the resolver knows how to translate e.g. www.google.com to an IP address.
