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.

theft-server
THEFT-SERVER(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation THEFT-SERVER(1p)
NAME
theft-server - CLC-INTERCAL networking
SYNOPSIS
theft-server --port=port [options]
DESCRIPTION
The theft-server mediates the communication between two CLC-INTERCAL programs with the internet extension. It keeps a list of process IDs
running on the current computer so it can provide lists of processes which can be engaged in INTERcal NETworking; it also responds to
broadcasts allowing other CLC-INTERCAL programs on the LAN to know there is something happening on this computer.
Under normal conditions, the theft-server is started automatically by a CLC-INTERCAL programs with the internet extension (unless one is
already running, of course!) because the extension cannot operate without a server on the local computer. However, it is possible to start
one manually, for example from a /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d.
If the program is started automatically, it uses defaults for all its configuration; when started manually, it accepts the following
options:
-pport / --port=port
Uses the given port (number or service name) for communications, instead of using the default one from a configuration file.
-lseconds / --linger=seconds
Waits the specified time for a connection, then exit. The default is 600 (10 minutes). The timeout applies when the program starts and
also when all existing connections are closed. This allows the program to be started on demand by CLC-INTERCAL programs, and to auto-
matically exit when no longer required (unless more programs start up during the timeout).
This function is disabled by setting the timeout to 0 (i.e. -l0); for example, if starting the server from /etc/init.d or equivalent
one would disable the timeout.
-d / --debug
Tells everything it's doing (on Standard Error). Also, prevents the program from detaching from the current terminal and going into the
background.
