Hello Everyone:

I am trying to connect my FreeBSD 3.4-Release to cable modem but I seem
to have a problem.  My problem is that it work fine for about 7 minutes
after I boot my computer and then all the sudden the connection just
dies.  I tried pinging freeBSD website and all the packets are lost.  I
am attaching the  /etc/rc.conf, dmesg and /etc/dhclient.conf files.   I
think that I have followed the directions very carefully and I also have
looked on the website of FreeBSD to see if I can find any similar
problems but I couldn't find any.  Thank you in advance.  


This is the /etc/rc.conf file
