This is what I needed to add in rc.conf network_interfaces="lo0 fxp0" ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" Also, you may need to add firewall_type="open" I'm not sure what the default is or if you are running a firewall now. I installed 4.3 from ftp using the Cable connection. This OS is by far the easiest I've installed and the most stable.
