What's the contents of /etc/resolv.conf? Have you got named running?
What's the output of "ipfw show"? You haven't given us enough
information to help us help you.

Firstly thanks for your reply, contents of /etc/resolv.conf are as follows.

search computerking.ca
nameserver 192.168.0.202
nameserver 24.71.223.144
nameserver 24.71.223.144

If i am not mistaken my server (192.168.0.202 or computerking.ca) that 
runs FreeBSD as well provides that information through the dhcpd?  I do 
not have named running on that machine but instead on the fore mentioned 
server.  ipfw show outputs the following line what the ???

65535  0  0  deny ip from any to any

that doesn't look right does it???
can you help me fix this???

the ifconfig does not give me any ipadresses that is what puzzles me. 
The rc.conf stuff is ok too, and it worked before the make world i have 
not changed it. something to do with ipfw it think but i do not know 
much about that or if it is even the problem.
