For the network settings, your IP and interface are configured in
/etc/{rc.conf | sysconfig}, dependin gon your version of FreeBSD, and your
DNS info is in /etc/resolv.conf.
While you're off your network, I would disable the ifconfig for your
network card and remove the default route, if you configured one. This
will keep some of the erroneous routes from getting in there and messing
things up.
