Let me guess.  Your "network_interfaces" variable in /etc/rc.conf is
set to somethink like "xxx auto", right?

If so, could you please consult with a 3.3-RELEASE's Errata Notes
at http://www.freebsd.cris.net/releases/3.3R/errata.html and tell
us whether changing "auto" to "lo0" fixes your problem.

Hi!

What does your /etc/rc.conf and ifconfig -a have to say? Also the output
of uname -a would be more helpful then just "FreeBSD 3.3".

Cheers!
