Ok, here is a good one for you.  I switched motherboards, from a board based on a VIA chipset to an ASUS board based on an ALi chipset.  At first after booting up, everything was fine.  Then, the next day, just all of a sudden, I couldn't telnet or ftp into the machine.  I rebooted it, and sendmail wouldn't start, and I still couldn't ftp or telnet into it, or access anything by its DNS name, although I could still ping stuff by its IP, apache still started though.  I figured maybe I needed a re-install what with changing the mobo and all, so I re-installed, re-formatting during the install.  But, even after the fresh install, the same problem still existed.  Any ideas what this could be?  Its FreeBSD 4.0-release, a k-6 300MHz with 128 MB of RAM on an ASUS P5A-B motherboard now.

Thanks
Generic Player
