Can you include them here please?
A 'normal' setup should list something like:
ifconfig_ed1="DHCP"
to start the dhclient script at boot time (you might rm & touch dhclient.conf
and dhclient.leases if you're having problems to get an ip)

Does something like
host -t any <some.host.you.want.to.reach>
work? It should list a name and ip for the host, and moght print some extra
stuff about it, all aquired from the dns server. In a 'setup' the host which
will be queried is defined in /etc/resolv.conf, it should look like:
search <your.domain.here>
nameserver dnsserver.ip.number
The dhclient script should set this up automagically, if not you might consider
putting in these values by yourself, but keep in mind you need to reconfigure
the dns server to not to touch /etc/resolv.conf (or make it immutable)

Again, dhclient should supply the default route to use. If non provided, you
might either do static routing (add them by hand in /etc/rc.local or something)
or run a route discovery daemon, as routed.
