How to get internet working on installed freebsd 5.1

[Hexren]

JD> I installed freebsd 5.1 on my computer when it was not connected to any 
JD> network (but my ethernet card was attached).  Now that my computer has a 
JD> network connection, I can't access any internet sites, it says it can't find 
JD> the host.  I've installed freebsd 5.1 on this same computer when it was 
JD> connected to a network and the internet worked right away.  I also have linux 
JD> on this computer and it can connect to the internet fine.

JD> So my question is how do I get the internet working on freebsd?  Is there a 
JD> simple command I can run or do I edit some text file?  Thanks.

How exactly is the Computer connected ? (dsl, cable, isdn)

Have you tested simple IP conectivity ? (ping 216.136.204.21 (that is
freebsd.org))

If you can ping a host using IP number but not using DNS name how does
your /etc/resolv.conf look under FBSD and how does it look under Linux
?
