Looks suspiciously like you assigned 24.65.123.1 to ed1 You will have an entry like this showing the router at the other end but if we assume this is that router then there are no entries left for you ethernet card and therefore you can't be talking to anyone. You need somethin like this in /etc/rc.conf network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback). ifconfig_ed1="inet 24.65.123.47 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. and further down in the same file defaultrouter="24.65.123.1" # Set to default gateway (or NO). router_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable a routing daemon.
