Thanks for your response. I just went in to single-user mode
and got em0 to configure (same as before), but now, I can ping another
host on the same subnet. I will try all your suggestions and also
temporarily turn off ipfw. I did look at the rules and I did remember
to change them to fit the new address when the system left here. If
that's it, I should have a working system all be it a totally open
system.
I will let you know what happens.
