Without the specific changes that you have made to your rc.conf, it's
hard to guess what the problem could be. You see, almost anything that
can be configured in a FreeBSD system has some nice hook in rc.conf!
Actually, you can return the systyem to a fairly "basic" configuration,
by setting your rc.conf to contain:
network_interfaces="lo0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
hostname="YOUR.HOST.NAME.HERE"
firewall_enable="NO"
You'll probably need to add some more stuff to the network_interfaces
for your other network cards / interfaces, but I can't help with that.
Then, copying the lines that you need to modify from the usual place,
i.e. /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and modifying their copy in rc.conf is the
easiest way to get things set up for you.
