2. For some reason, if I use DHCP at all then want to switch back to my
static IP setup, I have to restart the computer to get it to access the
Internet. I haven't been able to figure out why. If I recall
correctly, I can switch to static IP on bge0 and access other systems
on the network, but I can't do anything related to the Internet. Yes,
by the way, I am checking to make sure the contents of resolv.conf are
correct.


Check your default gateway when switching from DHCP to static. IIRC a
/etc/rc.d/netif stop/start will recreate the default route.
