DNS goes into /etc/resolv.conf

gateway into /etc/network/interfaces (if you have a static ip)
last line of the subgroup

iface eth0 inet static

is something like

gateway xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt

Hi,

All system wide configuration is done in the directory 
/etc. If your have a local network connection you 
wil have to edit /etc/network/interfaces for your 
ip, gateway, broadcast, netmask, etc. And you need to
edit /etc/resolv.conf for the dns nameservers. 

If you have ppp I think the procedure is different.
Afer making changes restart the network by running

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Cheers,
Bastiaan

Do you have a static IP or DHCP-served IP?  

If DHCP-served, then dhcp-client will do it all for you, including
creating the DNS file, as long as you have this in 
your /etc/network/interfaces :
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
Also, you must have a /etc/dhclient.conf file.  For someone
who used to be an @HOME cusomer, it looks something like this:
  interface eth0 {
  send host-name cx36001-a;
  }

If static, you must create /etc/network/interfaces yourself:
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
address your.static.IP.address.provided.by.ISP
netmask netmask.provided.by.ISP
network ntwork.provided.by.ISP
broadcast broadcast.IP.address.provided.by.ISP
gateway gateway.IP.address.provided.by.ISP
You must also create /etc/resolv.conf:
  search ISP.domain.name
  nameserver IP.address.of.primary.DNS.server
  nameserver IP.address.of.secondary.DNS.server

Good luck...
