yes maybe you're right....
when I try your command "arp -n -a" it returns two lines....

The first one is the at&t gateway : 12.103.21.1. I guess it's the entry
point to there backbone !?
But there is no MAC address coming with... instead I have the mention
"incomplete" . That could be my problem ??? If it is where could I find this
particular MAC address ? Do I have to call them ? Or my setup was wrong ?

I also have a second line referencing the freebsd box itself by the internal
LAN NIC : 192.1668.1.1 with a MAC address is it normal ???

proof is when I try to install samba my freebsd gives a time out reaching
the samba server on the web....
