You should have two lines here with the IP and MAC addresses,
something like:
ed0: flags=8843 <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 01:23:45:67:89:ab
(the actual numbers on the second line will of course be different)
If these lines are missing, make sure you have the appropriate entries
in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces="lo0 ed0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00"
If that is indeed the problem, you can fix it by typing the following
as root:
# ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00
(but remember to add the appropriate lines to /etc/rc.conf as well)
