top shows nothing, expect that for a very short period of time hald was doing something - so I disabled it. Rebooted the system and tried to startx and then X couldn't start and I get this errors
Unless you need xauth for some reason, I would recommend starting X with the xinit(1) command -- This is the same as startx except it doesn't do any xauth stuff, which us usually fine.

First - pinging a remote host from BSD systems takes way too much, than pinging the same host from a Windows machine. Don't know why but resolving hostnames under the FreeBSD systems is taking too much time.
Are you using the same DNS servers on both machines? In BSD it's /etc/resolv.conf, on Windows I believe you can check with ipconfig -a in a cmd prompt.
