You want /sbin/ifconfig -a

and /bin/netstat -rn

run the following to learn more about each of them:

man ifconfig
man netstat

You will also want to look at /etc/resolv.conf.  That file lists the
nameservers that your machine points to for DNS services.



BTW: as a side note, please don't top post.  And it appears that you may
have hijacked another thread.  Hijacking threads is when you reply to
another message and change the subject line.  This messes up threaded
email readers.  So create a new message from scratch next time and
remember to trim your replies as well.
