Larry, 

Two methods.

a) without rebooting

ifconfig ep0 inet  xxx.xxx.xxx.xx  netmask 255.255.255.0 up

where I am assuming your nic card is ep0  [check dmesg to see what it really is]

b) safe way, with rebooting

edit the file /etc/rc.conf

Then reboot.

This method is probably easier and clearer.

Jeff
