heres the deal. I have been using FreeBSD 4.6.2 for about a month or
so. I have used Linux for about 6 months now. I am very comfortable
with FreeBSD and wish to continue to use BSD. I have a very serious
problem. First I will tell you what I do from the beginning and what
changes I make.

Install FreeBSD 4.6.2 - Everything goes fine
 Configure X - Everything goes fine 
Update ports - Everything goes fine 
Install Fluxbox -
Everything goes fine startx - Everything goes fine 
Install sylpheed,xchat,gaim,aterm, and a few other things - Everything goes
fine

I then add the following to /etc/rc.conf

firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_quiet="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.acl"

I add the following to /etc/ipfw.acl

add 1000 allow ip from any to any

I add the following to my kernel

options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10

and for sound support i add

device		pcm		# Sound Support

After all these changes are made I do reboot. After i reboot I use the
computer for a couple hours then NOTHING happens. I can't get on the
internet, no webpages will load, can't send e-mail, cant receive
e-mails. I don't know whats going on here. I am comfortable with Unix
but I am new in ways so if you have any ideas please explain them to
me. Please do not say do this. Please tell me how to do this and do
that. I am waiting on your e-mails right now..

I sent the same e-mail ealier in Windows cause I couldnt get online so
I am sending it again incase for some reason no one got it. I just got
doing a fresh install. I'm waiting. Thanks in advance
