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

defaultrouter(4)						   File Formats 						  defaultrouter(4)

NAME
defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s) SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultrouter DESCRIPTION
The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default router(s). The format of the file is as follows: IP_address ... The /etc/defaultrouter file can contain the IP addresses or hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on its own line. If you use hostnames, each hostname must also be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name services are running at the time that defaultrouter is read. Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as comments. The default routes listed in this file replace those added by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty /etc/defaultrouter file will cause the default route added by the kernel to be deleted. Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting as an IPv4 router. You can use routeadm(1M) to override this behavior. FILES
/etc/defaultrouter Configuration file containing the hostnames or IP addresses of one or more default routers. SEE ALSO
in.rdisc(1M), in.routed(1M), routeadm(1M), hosts(4) SunOS 5.10 17 Aug 2004 defaultrouter(4)
