Well, What *DOES* it report? ;-)

It should read something like...

gdi,ttyp2,~/t/vmount.0.6a-freebsd,33>ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 128.223.170.30 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast 128.223.171.255
        ether 00:80:19:35:21:93 

This is my current interface. Hacking mine, yours would be someting like:

de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 203.56.180.200 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 203.56.180.255
