you can assign DNS / Gatway through command line without using neat command.

for DNS first check the current dns settings with 'cat' command
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain yourdomain.com
search yourdomain.com
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.x

then replace nameserver per your dns ip address.. and you can give 'n' number of ip addresses per your list.

# vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver x.x.x.x

#For Gateway

Either
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

This is all good, but if the OP is using DHCP the server supplies this information and he should check his DHCP server.
