    1. Please wrap your messages at 72 chars

    2.
    man ifconfig
    man rc.conf - for setting it permanent

    For DHCP:
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dhcp.html

    At leat you have to have something like this in your /etc/rc.conf :

    defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
    hostname="you_host.your_domain.tld"
    ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0"

    Of course, you should replace the ip addresses with those given to you
    by you ISP and your_host ... with your host name.
