Actually the DNS info goes in that file.  You may can just copy that
over from another machine but you should set it up so that it gets them
from the machine that connects to the internet.  You may want to read
/etc/conf.d/net.example to see if one of the examples in there applies
to you.  If one does, copy only the parts you need to /etc/conf.d/net. 

Also, don't forget to try to ping as requested in the previous email. 
That will let the list know if the rest of the network is working
correctly.  It may not work and that may be why it is not getting the
DNS automatically, as it should.
