It has to do with device drivers.
An external router/modem connect to either a hub/switch or directly to
your network card. On either case you are connecting to the device through
your network card (for which you need to make sure it will work
with FreeBSD). Most network cards work with FreeBSD, but I like the Intel
Pro 10/100 cards

Does that help?

Also you didn't tell us any details about your ISP. Do you have DSL or
ADSL? Do you have a modem or a router?
