I'm not sure I've ever built a FreeBSD box that got network connectivity without my having to coax it. Below is a (verbose) session showing how I get connectivity: *# uname -a* > FreeBSD freebsd 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan 3 07:15:25 > UTC 2012 root@obrian.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC > i386 > *# ifconfig de0* > de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 > ether 00:03:ff:d4:0f:51 > nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> > media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX) > status: active > *# ping freebsd.org* > ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure > *# dhclient de0* > DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 > DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 > DHCPDISCOVER on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 > No DHCPOFFERS received. > Trying recorded lease 192.168.1.68 > bound: renewal in 35849 seconds. > *# ping freebsd.org* > ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure > *# ifconfig de0 down > # ifconfig de0 up > # ping freebsd.org* > ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure > *# dhclient de0* > DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 > DHCPREQUEST on de0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 > DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1 > bound to 192.168.1.68 -- renewal in 43200 seconds. > *# ping freebsd.org* > PING freebsd.org (8.8.178.135): 56 data bytes > ...
