Thank you guys for the advice, and finally i could connect to internet with FREEBSD, this is what i did. I did evrything what the handbook said and still couldn't connect, then i installed a new ethernet card that support freebsd and i did everything what the manual said in how to install the driver, stiil couldn't connect, but i called my isp and they toll me that i had to install the ppp software which i couldn't find, then i dicided to install the cd of the isp and this is what i did, (i didn't know what i was doing, i was just experimentting)
I put the command
#mount /cdrom
and the cd started spinning, which i was very surprised because i never get to work the cdrom when i want to play a music cd(if someone can help me with this problem it will be very nice), then i put this command...
#make
and it started searching for a ftp site which didn't find, then i put this command...
#make install
and it started installing something from the cd, i had no idea what it was, after that i was praying to be conncted to the internet. I opened the web browser, i hit a link to other web site and there i was connected to the internet with freebsd
Smilie i couldn't belived that it worked, i was and am so happy, now i don't have to use the stupid crap of microsuck(microsoft) windows. Well, that is my very happy legend. later

posix_fadvise

posix_fadvise(3C)					   Standard C Library Functions 					 posix_fadvise(3C)

NAME

       posix_fadvise - file advisory information

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fcntl.h>

       int posix_fadvise(int fd, off_t offset, off_t len, int advice);

DESCRIPTION

       The posix_fadvise() function advises the system on the expected behavior of the application with respect to the data in the file associated
       with the open file descriptor, fd, starting at offset and continuing for len bytes. The specified range need not  currently  exist  in  the
       file.  If  len  is  zero, all data following offset is specified. The system may use this information to optimize handling of the specified
       data. The posix_fadvise() function has no effect on the semantics of other operations on the specified data, although  it  may  affect  the
       performance of other operations.

       The advice to be applied to the data is specified by the advice parameter and may be one of the following values:

       POSIX_FADV_NORMAL	Specifies that the application has no advice to give on its behavior with respect to the specified data. It is the
				default characteristic if no advice is given for an open file.

       POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL	Specifies that the application expects to access the specified data sequentially from lower offsets to higher off-
				sets.

       POSIX_FADV_RANDOM	Specifies that the application expects to access the specified data in a random order.

       POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED	Specifies that the application expects to access the specified data in the near future.

       POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED	Specifies that the application expects that it will not access the specified data in the near future.

       POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE	Specifies that the application expects to access the specified data once and then not reuse it thereafter.

       These values are defined in <fcntl.h>

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, posix_fadvise() returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The posix_fadvise() function will fail if:

       EBADF	 The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.

       EINVAL	 The value of advice is invalid, or the value of len is less than zero.

       ESPIPE	 The fd argument is associated with a pipe or FIFO.

USAGE

       The posix_fadvise() function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file offsets. See lf64(5).
