If so, did you try ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" in your /etc/rc.conf. First that's already set, I selected DHCP configuration of the network interface during setup and installation.

This is what puzzles me because previous Linux distributions I've used have all done this without any extra intervention on my part. -- Shawn http://drevil.warpcore.org/
