Gnome2.18.2+FreeBSD-6.2 , issue after six months



I configured Gnome2.18.2 for my FreeBSD6.2 Box six months before , its
working fine upto the last week , suddenly its behaving strangely , its not
launching the login shell from the panel ,


so I went through application-->system tools-->new login


But getting the message (GDM is not running , you might be using a
different display manager such as KDM or xdm .If you still wish to use this
feature , either start GDM your self or ask your system admin to start GDM.

I havn't altererd any system configuration , in /etc/rc.conf these lines
are still there gdm_enable="YES" gnome_enable="YES"

some other problems also

I can't browse the internet (launching the FireFox web browser itselftaking
a long time ,the I tried to acess yahoo.com,google.co.in ..etc its not
allowing me to surf the net , even in the browser I configuerd for my proxy
server and port )


Ifconfig command (after a long interval I am able to get a shell prompt )
returns me the ip address and mask of my system

Ifanybody can help to find what wrong with this box , and how to fix it
please send me your suggestions asap

Thanks in advance
KK
