Your advice has been and continues to be very valuable and appreciated. This is very strange, ever curiouser as has been said by a better author than I. Tried to run tcpdump and it is not there. Updated the locate database and ran locate. Not there. Only reference is to smbtcpdump in ports [I have the full ports tree] This box ran 2.2.6 for a long time. Figured it would be easier to just install 4.0 than to update. Just did a complete reinstall of 4.0 [Fast as I have the CD Rom and for this test just used all the defaults and did not put in X windows]. Same result. No net connection, no tcpdump. Went to look around and found no pine and no emacs, I do not like vi. Installed the emacs pkg [pkg_add] from the cdrom. Installs fine but will not run. Get an error message libXaw.so.6 not found. Tried emacs -nw which has worked for me in the past when I do not have X windows on a machine. Error message on pine is libssl.so.1 not found. Hmmmm.... -seem to have a 'broken install' but no idea what to do next -naturally the net connection is still not there. Thanks in advance.
