Fixed it!  When I turn off "ifconfig de0 -link2" the link2 I get a message that says enableing 10baseT port, and when I turn it back on "ifconfig de0 link2" I get a message that says enableing 100BaseTX port.  Everything works good now.  

Thanks!!
Jim...

# ifconfig de0 -link2

The - is turn off.  Without it, you turn it on.
