This is almost certaintly related to not having your network devices properly configured. Do a google groups search on "Can't assign requested address" and you will likely find what I am talking about. Long story short, if lo0 and/or the ethernet port is mangled and/or the dns is mangled, etc. You will have these problems. My PR is on a box which I fully believe is configured correctly (although I can't vouch for it). Drop me a copy of "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" and also a copy of /etc/rc.conf and I will see If I can see anything. - Forrest W.
