When you say you couldn't ping yourself is that a 127.0.0.1 or another IP
that you assigned to the interface? Half-duplex just means that it is not
using bi-directional communication, it shouldn't have an effect the ability
to ping the interface. If you could post the ifconfig -a results that would
help a bit...

Subject: Can't find localhost
Hell(o) everyone,
I have just installed freebsd 3.3 on my Pentium class system. I am
still using the generic kernal, although the rebuild is on its way... I
have a newly supported (thanks guys) 3c905c-TX NIC.
All of the networking seems to be working fine, with the exception of
one thing, and that it I cannot ping myself. I get an ARPresolve failure.
I was thinking that there was a DNS problem, since I am using an external
server, but that wasn't it. I checked ifconfig -a, and found that my 3c905c
is working in half-duplex mode. Could this be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Chuck
