for anyone who ever needs a reference here they are:
tcp/ip settings.
hostname.interface (ie hostname.elxl0)
<add your ip to this document>
nodename
add your local machine name
defaultdomain
your.domain

your router/gateway usualy xxx.xxx.subnet.1
hosts
this is a table of
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
<your.ip>
dns:
nsswitch.conf
add to hosts: dns files
add the dns part
add to recolv.conf:
domain: your.domain (ie uri.edu)

desproxy-dns
desproxy-dns(1) User Commands desproxy-dns(1)
NAME
desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections
SYNOPSIS
desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port
OPTIONS
None
DESCRIPTION
If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else. You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names
to IP addresses.
NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if
you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root).
OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network
accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X).
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works.
ENVIRONMENT
None.
FILES
None.
