dhcp works but static doesn't
i read about /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf but what i don't have information about is how do i extract correct information for gateway, netmask ,etc. ifconfig shows correct settings but i'm trying to do it with assumption of dhcp server diabled by router.

The dig command will only display DNS queries.
For gateway info:
netstat -r
or
route
For IP address, netmask, broadcast:
ifconfig -a

thanks underscore for your help. what if i don't have network properly configured beforehand? actually all these refer not neccesarily to ethernet connection but wireless network through router. i get errors saying 'hostname not found' when i try to set gateway by 'ifconfig eth1 gw xxx.xxx.x.1'. i can see access points in iwconfig. now, at this stage i know from experience if i do 'dhcpcd eth1' internet connection is there. but if i try to do it static ip it doesn't seem to work.
