make world

[RYAN vAN GINNEKEN]

I just finished making the world on a new install of  FreeBSD 4.9 and 
now i cannot get my network to work.  Everything worked fine before the 
make world. Seem to remember this happening to me before but can't 
remember how i fixed it.  Must have something to do with mergemaster and 
the new etc files someone please help.

when i try to ping google.ca i get
cannot resolve google.ca  :host name lookup failure

doing an ifconfig i get no inet or subnet just the active status

my firewall stuff in dmesg looks like this

IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding 
enabled, default to deny, logging limited to 100 packets/entry by default

seems like a firewall problem not getting anything unusual in my 
/var/log/messages

please any hints would be appreciated
