Most routers can also act as a DHCP server. Then you can configure all nodes to get an ip address automatically from the router. It can also get the address of a DNS server the same way. For this to work your router must be configured to act as a DHCP server and your nodes on your LAN must be configured to request their ipaddresses (and DNS addresses) from the DHCP server.
Otherwise, you have to configure all this stuff manually and assign your own static ip address to each node.
Also, can you login to your router and confirm that the internet link is up?
What is the 10.0.0.138 address that you made reference to?

namepool
namepool(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual namepool(4)
NAME
namepool - DHCP server database
DESCRIPTION
The namepool database provides joind with names that are available for dynamic assignment to clients of the DHCP protocol. For each DHCP
server and domain name (NIS or DNS), the database contains a collection of names available for allocation to DHCP clients within those
domains. One name plays a distinguished role - it is used as a prefix when the pool has been exhausted. Names are generated from the pre-
fix by appending a number, 1,2.., and a trailing 'd'. The namepool file is read whenever joind starts. Names within the database must not
be allocated to hosts which are not DHCP clients, and if the administration of a domain is shared between several DHCP servers, the name-
pools that each has must be disjoint. Names may be added and removed from the namepool file. If a name is removed from the file it remains
bound to the client to which it was allocated; if no such binding is in effect the name is excised from the server's pool the next time the
server starts. Once a name is dynamically bound to a host it will never be reused even if that host subsequently acquires a new name, but
there is no need to remove it from namepool.
FORMAT
Blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign (#) are ignored. A new entry must begin in column one and has one of the following for-
mats:
domain server
domain server name_prefix
The domain variable is the domain in which the names which follow are assigned.
The server variable is the name or IP address of the server in charge of allocating these names to clients.
The prefix variable is the prefix that will be used when the pool is exhausted.
Succeeding lines contain one or more names for domains that are to be allocated by the server. Each of these succeeding lines must begin
with at least one white space character.
