hi....

I'm in big big trouble ... my freeBSD box can't find our gateway anymore.

Ethernet card/cables, hub, cisco, and T1 are fine. I have Win95 installed on 
the same machine, and I was able to boot it up in Win95 and surf the net. 
So, my assumption is that something went terribly wrong with my FreeBSD.

The last time I used it was late last night, and everything appeared to 
be normal. I logged in this morning and couldn't finger to outside world, 
so I rebooted it. FreeBSD did find the ether card but paused a long time at 
"add net default: gateway xxx.xxx.xx.x" and then boot as "244.0.0.0"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
