It could be all kinds of things... I think we need some more information on
what exactly isn't working:

- Have you good a good physical connection between the FreeBSD box and the
  Linksys (ie, are the link lights at both ends on)?
- Any error messages from dhclient when the machine boots?
- Could you post the output of 'ifconfig' and 'netstat -rn'
- Are other machines plugged into the Linksys working OK?
- How (if at all) have you configured the Linksys?
- Can you ping other machines on the local net by name? By IP address?

Cheers,

	Scott
