You don't have to rebuild the kernel to get sound working.
kldloading the right module should be enough.

You can find the available modules with

fk@r51 ~ $ls /boot/kernel/snd_*
/boot/kernel/snd_ad1816.ko    /boot/kernel/snd_maestro3.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_als4000.ko   /boot/kernel/snd_mss.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_cmi.ko       /boot/kernel/snd_neomagic.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_cs4281.ko    /boot/kernel/snd_sb16.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_csa.ko       /boot/kernel/snd_sb8.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_driver.ko    /boot/kernel/snd_sbc.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_ds1.ko       /boot/kernel/snd_solo.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_emu10k1.ko   /boot/kernel/snd_t4dwave.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_es137x.ko    /boot/kernel/snd_uaudio.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_ess.ko       /boot/kernel/snd_via8233.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_fm801.ko     /boot/kernel/snd_via82c686.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_ich.ko       /boot/kernel/snd_vibes.ko
/boot/kernel/snd_maestro.ko

I don't know your laptop and therefore don't know which
module you need, but dmesg could give you a clue.

kldload snd_driver will load all sound modules,
hopefully one of them will attach.

"TCP/IP Network Administration" and "The Complete FreeBSD"
both from O'Reilly are good.
I wouldn't call them essential, but reading them won't hurt.

I suppose you already know about the FreeBSD handbook.

What do you mean by reaching and what names are you talking
about, host names?
