My only suggestion would be entering the sysinstall utility (as root), navigating to the network interfaces section, hitting enter when you have your card selected, and attempting DHCP configuration.

Thanks a lot for mind jog, i was recently installf FreeBSD myself and i was sitting here wondering why i could not get online. Not realising to myself that i kept setting up bfe0 using the livecd and forgetting it erases everytime that the system restarts.

I solved the problem by buying a small netgear switch and connecting my DSL modem to the switch. I set the internal IP address of the switch to 192.168.0.1. Then I added the following lines to my /etc/rc.conf file:

defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"

(My network interface is fxp0).

This worked for me.
