I have experienced a similar issue with my cable modem service. Look at
this from /var/log/messages:

Jan 23 14:20:56 jamestown /kernel: arp: 00:20:78:d0:28:12 is using my IP address 0.0.0.0!
Jan 23 14:20:56 jamestown /kernel: arp: 00:20:78:d0:28:12 is using my IP address 0.0.0.0!

Jan 24 21:39:25 jamestown /kernel: arp: 00:50:8b:aa:68:a9 is using
my IP address 24.148.62.76!

What you need to know first is:

Do you have a static IP address or is the ISP using DHCP? Set your
configuration accordingly. See Section 17.8 DHCP of the FreeBSD
Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/dhcp.html>; for help on DHCP.
It's really simple.

Are you getting messages like I am above? This could be a sign of a
misconfigured NIC.
