When I do, I get:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
    ether 00:1b:21:1b:fd:bd
    inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:fe1b:fdbd%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
    inet 192.168.1.105 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
    media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
    status: active

I still get no connectivity until i run "dhclient em0" which gives me:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
    ether 00:1b:21:1b:fd:bd
    inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:fe1b:fdbd%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
    inet 192.168.1.105 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
    inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
    media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
    status: active

adding what I guess is called an alias 10.0.0.2 ip?!?! I'm not that much 
of an expert in these matters, and I'm a bit puzzled why, at first 
(before calling dhclient), it can't resolve addresses eventhough 
"/etc/resolv.conf" contains all my dns's.
