If you get no packet loss to your ISP, but 50-60% loss to sites on the other side of your ISP, I would guess that it is either your ISP or something in between your ISP and the sites you're trying to get to. Have you tried doing any traceroutes? Together pings and traceroutes can provide a lot more info, such as where the packet loss is occuring and possibly why. Also, how are you connected to your ISP, dsl? As for the configuring fxp0 in rc.conf, I appologise, I should have recommended adding another line like this: ifconfig_fxp0="media 10baseT/utp" I have verified that this works on my machines, I placed it immediately after the first ifconfig_fxp0 line.
