Thanks for the help....I killed any open dhclients and
then did the netstart....it still wasn't working until
I took a peek at my rc.conf and deleted the hostname
line and made sure ifconfig_sk0="DHCP" and the appends
were deleted...I then rebooted and viola!!! it
works!!!!

HOWEVER lol I now can't seem to get into X....It
worked before I got my NIC working correctly and now
when I startx it gets to the dark grey sceen where the
pointer looks like an "X" and sits there. I'll play
around with it some when I get back from my folks
house but did you have that problem after you got your
NIC working? 

Thanks again for ppinting me to your earlier
conversation. It was a tremendous help
