yes, the net is totally out.  everything, telnet, ftp, e-mail, etc.  Now even
I don't run Netscape at all, but the net is not working properly.  First of
all, I thought it's the problem of the ISP.  Well, however, the same net
connection on MS-Windows boxes work just fine as usual.  The only change
recently I made on the FBSD box  was yesterday add some swap space on the
same hard disk with re-compile of the kernel according to the Handbook.

What does this mean?  I got it from console message:

/kernel: ep0: promiscuous mode enabled

Any help or suggestion would be pleased.
