Maybe someone will just tell you an answer, but in case not can you actually post the output of ifconfig -a and all the em0 stuff from dmesg.boot?The Ethernet interface, known as em0 on this system, comes up According to all the messages. If, however, you try to use it, it is as dead as a stone. If I try to ping the local host from root, I get this:ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied [...] If I do an ifconfig em0, the settings return as they were set in rc.conf. The router address is correct and the fact that one can't ping 127.0.0.1 either tells me that something really nasty happened somewhere along the way.
Off the cuff, are you *sure* an ethernet cable is actually plugged in and that it is a known working cable? Note sure why that would scotch localhost, though.
