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

You can see the settings in XP from "ipconfig" from a command prompt.
You can see the settings in UNIX from "ifconfig" from a command shell.

Here...

Normally you should be able to extract the info from:

ifconfig -a (all the infor regarding current interfaces, including IPs, MAC etc)
netstat -rn (or just -r) for routing tables and default gateway
