It preempts many questions). Try `ifconfig <NIC> up`, check the cable, etc. FreeBSD should be responding just like Winblows here, but your network isn't connected for whatever reason that will probably be clearer when we know what ifconfig looks like. Hence dhcp will not work in these circumstances, at least until you connect your network... :)
