I'll answer at the top because I'm not sure you're familiar with lists (top posting is generally frowned upon, so usually look lower in the message). This is just an unconnected network configuration. So no ip address is assigned yet, and it shows it as blank. The subnet mask is default too, because if you had a subnet mask like this your computer would only be able to talk to itself. FYI: if you want some tuition on this stuff, I'd just read through the lists more. Try FreeBSD.org as they are usually more helpful to newbies- check out the questions list. Read through and ask some questions and you'll get the training you want. Cheers and good luck. I'm on both these lists btw, so I'll keep an eye out.
