subnet mask, router address, domain name servers; bla,bla,bla?

Question

I just got an iMac and I'm MacClueless. I'm so used to windows, this thing is foreign. I cannot get on the net. My husband and I are on a network (2wire) and he's good to go but i'm not. We've had this setup for over a year and everything was fine then my (recent) computer crashed. My husband got me this"lovely" piece of machinery. So I tried the internet setup assistant but i'm stuck. What and wheres the subnet mask # for "configuration? And router address for this configuration? Where? and the IP? Is all this located somewhere in this beast? Or do I use my networks?, or my husbands?, or can I use theirs (#'S)?, or who?, or why? or "what the hell?" Please,......"can you help me back to the net? I wish I were back on the net " signed, stuck on stupid

Answer 1

Just set the Imac to obtain an address automatically through DHCP and that stuff will be filled in for you...
