After  you've added those lines to your rc.conf and commented out the ="HDCP"
line,  you hopefully have  your  network addresses and gateways configured
statically. Your system shouldn't listen the dhclient for network info
anymore.  I  guess  now you should check your /etc/resolv.conf for the
correct  nameservers entries (local network suffixes should be in this
file  as  well).  Make  shure  that  the  info  in your resolv.conf is
correct. Now hopefully you're done.
By default dhclient  overwrites resolv.conf each time it is used with
the info it derives out of dhcp-server.
>man resolv.conf
for more info.
