I set up dhclent to run, it seems to know a few ip
adresses, do I still have to set up dhcp, and
defaultroute and resolv.conf?  can I get the gateway
and nameserver info from dhclient?

If the DHCP server on your local network is properly
configured, then 
dhclient will automatically determine the right default
route and DNS 
info for /etc/resolv.conf, without you needing to make
changes by hand.  
If your DHCP server does not give out the right information,
you should 
fix it, rather than adjusting each client machine by
hand....
