What OS version ? It's important, since the config file name has changed from /etc/system.conf to /etc/rc.conf, to have a uniq name scheme for config files. Maybe you should have a look at Greg Leheys new book "The Complete FreeBSD", which is a 500 page tutorial and the rest of it a manpage, ports, ... reference. It comes with the FreeBSD-2.2.6 CD-ROM and should help you in the process of setting the system up for network and such.
