I installed freebsd 5.1 on my computer when it was not connected to any network (but my ethernet card was attached). Now that my computer has a network connection, I can't access any internet sites, it says it can't find the host. I've installed freebsd 5.1 on this same computer when it was connected to a network and the internet worked right away. I also have linux on this computer and it can connect to the internet fine.
So my question is how do I get the internet working on freebsd? Is there a simple command I can run or do I edit some text file? Thanks.

i would simply suggest running /stand/sysinstall
--then do the configure option
--then do the networking option
--then pick interfaces option
--then pick your network card
--it will ask you if you'd like to try dhcp - i'd suggest you do that method.
It should pull the proper settings from your router and off to the races you go
