Network noobie question

This is my first attempt in installing a netbsd ever. I'm trying to get myself familiar with some commands and how things work in unix and so far i never knew its this fun. Anyway, unix is our elective here in school and school is gonna start 2 weeks. I'm just trying to get a headstart on this Smilie

I'm having some problems setting up the network and all.

I believe the network card (w3g11t) is being detected and according to the stuff I read in the netbsd forums its supported. Problem is, it just wont detect DHCP on my router, even my router is DHCP enabled.

My network skills are limited and I just want to check where can I get these values in my router or in my windowsxp.

1.Where can I get the value of my IPv4 number?
2.Where can I get the value of my IPv4 Netmask?
3.Where can I get the value of my IPv4 gateway?
4.Where can I get the value of my IPv4 name server?

anyone knows where I put the values of my from those four?
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
DNS 1:
DNS 2:
DNS 3:

like....is the IP address value should be the same as the IPv4 number....IPv4 Netmask value should be the same as the Subnet Mask....

need help. Smilie

NAME
subnetcalc -- IPv4/IPv6 Subnet Calculator SYNOPSIS
subnetcalc [Address] [Netmask/Prefix] [-n] [-uniquelocal] [-uniquelocalhq] DESCRIPTION
subnetcalc is an IPv4/IPv6 subnet address calculator. For given IPv4 or IPv6 address and netmask or prefix length, it calculates network address, broadcast address, maximum number of hosts and host address range. Also, it prints the addresses in binary format for better under- standability. Furthermore, it prints useful information on specific address types (e.g. type, scope, interface ID, etc.). ARGUMENTS
The following arguments have to be provided: Address The IP address. If a hostname is provided here, it is tried to resolve the address by a DNS server and the first returned address is used. Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) are supported. Netmask/Prefix The netmask or prefix length (0-32 for IPv4; 0-128 for IPv6). -n Skip trying a reverse DNS lookup. -uniquelocal Given an IPv6 address, the first 48 bits of the address are replaced by a randomly chosen IPv6 Unique Local prefix in fc00::/7 (see also RFC 4193). Under Linux, /dev/urandom is used for random number generation. -uniquelocalhq Like -uniquelocal, but using /dev/random instead on Linux systems for highest-quality random number generation. On other systems, this option is equal to -uniquelocal. Note, that reading from /dev/random may take some time. You can speed up this process by deliv- ering random input e.g. by pressing keys or moving the mouse. EXAMPLES
