I tried doing man /etc/network/interfaces, but my file was displayed. Does anyone know which parameters I have to add on the iface line?

I have network access. There are two things that I don't have as of yet. 1 of them is Dns, and the other is I don't have it set to configure the interfaces with pump on start-up.
