Getting network information

As I am a newbie with macs, I am unsure on certain commands with terminal. I was wondering if and what the command is that will show me information about my network connection to my ISP. TFTP, DHCP,IP,etc. If there is no way of using terminal for this, is there a program out there that will accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

ifconfig from the terminal shows pretty much what ipconfig does at a command prompt in windows. Hope that is what you are after.

That helps. Although I don't see TFTP info or dhcp. It only shows me my address (hardware of card and IP address).
Is there anything that will show me more?

Try doing a man on the netstat command. You can try netstat -rn
