where did you enter all that information before?

- your gateway address should go in the /etc/defaultrouter file
- your hostname should go in the /etc/hostname.xxx file where xxx is le0, hme0, etc depending on what NIC is in the machine.
- your IP address needs to be in the /etc/hosts file along with the hostname.

That should be all there is to getting it going. If you can't resolve names, check the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for the keyword "dns" in the line that begins with "hosts"

Also, you'll need an /etc/resolv.conf file containing your search domain, and the ip addresses of your DNS servers.
