Let me guess: You're on a DHCP network and the network script are running before the network address is assigned. The solution is to wait for DHCP negotiation to complete before letting the rest of the network scripts to complete. I added the following to /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_re0="SYNCDHCP" Change re0 to your network device.
