Seven computers I have tried with all three BSDs and not one of them
managed to produce a working network connection. The only thing I achieved
was that now I can almost visualise every screen from the installations.

I am baffled by how anyone is able to get a bsd networked system
working. I guess I just have to stick with a windowsOS.

The simplest thing to try is the command: "dhclient".

If you've got a DHCP server on your network (perhaps via your ISP or via a broadband hub or firewall), this should get your network going. Then follow the Handbook lists others have posted to make your network config permanent.
