Why are you adding a route to ftp.netbsd.org? Also, why are you adding a
-net route for it? Both actions are wrong.

I think you want a much simpler routing setup than you're giving yourself.

I think all you want in addition to local routes and the loopback routes
is "route add default 24.1.4.193".

You shouldn't need to enter a route for the cable modem as the ifconfig
for the ethernet card on the cable side should have done it. I think the
24.1.4.192/27      link#3             UC          0        0      -  ne0
line was all you needed.

Take care,
