hm... I believe some more information are needed.
Please provide us with the following output:

ifconfig -a
uname -a
dmesg

I have no clue which Network Card you are using, and therefor which 
network card is configured for dhcp. I would guess that FreeBSD doesnīt 
know your NIC. So letīs fix this ;)

HTH,
