It's amazing this thread lives so long. So far, no new things are found,
except for corrections of typos, beyond initial vague problem statement.

What you are trying to do is damn simple thing, once it starts running.
So, you are having dumb simple error somewhere.

Now help us see the most elementary network characteristics of your machine.

1. Run the following script. Run it to the complesion, whatever happens.
   Just copy and paste your input and the machine responce.
   Don't try add anything, don't try remove anything, don't try change anything.

% cat checknet.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "0=$0"
set -x
ifconfig -a
netstat -rn
traceroute 216.136.204.21
traceroute freebsd.org
echo "done"
%

2. Run the following script for at least four seconds but not
   more than sixteen seconds.
   Just copy and paste your input and the machine responce.
   Don't try add anything, don't try remove anything, don't try change anything.

% cat checkping.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "0=$0"
set -x
ping 216.136.204.21
echo "done"
%


3. Run the following script. Run it to the complesion, whatever happens.
   Just copy and paste your input and the machine responce.
   Don't try add anything, don't try remove anything, don't try change anything.

% cat checkresolver.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "0=$0"
set -x
nslookup freebsd.org
nslookup freebsd.org 200.13.224.8
echo "done"
%

4. Finally, if any change in /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf, cat them.
   Just copy and paste your input and the machine responce.
   Don't try add anything, don't try remove anything, don't try change anything.


If you still haven't found yourself what's wrong during those checkings,
post the input and output.
