How do I find the IP address referenced in the fourth #?
That will be the IP address of your ISP's DHCP server. They may well have givenyou some documentation, or put that information on a website, or failing that, you could just call their help line and ask. > Where is the log file that is referenced in the fourth #?

Almost everything in the base systeem and many of the ports which write data into logfiles will keep those logfiles under /var/log. Makes them much easier to find...
