troubleshooting network settings

[Malcolm Fitzgerald]

I am running freeBSD v6.0 security on a home network behind an adsl 
router.

I cannot connect to localhost from a browser (apache is running!)
I cannot connect to localhost port 22 (KPackage tries to use ssh)

What can cause these problems? How can I troubleshoot them?

I am very new to freeBSD, so part of my question is "where do I 
begin?". I have a copy of Complete freeBSD beside me but can't get the 
magical incantations right. Suggestions appreciated.
