I'm stumped.
I just installed FreeBSD 4.4 on a Dell Optiplex machine. I know the NIC card
is good in it, I just had Mandrake on it and before that Win2000 and had no
network problem.

I don't know FreeBSD well enough to troubleshoot the network connection.
Can someone give me the steps needed to troubleshoot/fix my ethernet
connection?

Thanks
