1. The MAC address is correct.
2. There is no way to determine the correct default gateway. Different environment have different "standards" to assign default gateway IP address.
3. The computer has an IP address.
The only thing missing is DNS. Again, like #2, there is no way to determine what is the correct DNS IP address. DNS IP address can be any IP address. Can be the same subnet. Can be different subnet. Can be a public IP address as long as the client(s) can reach it.

I think I have it- the DNS server is on a different network because of the second octet number? Let me know! I'm assuming the DNS server will have to be on the same network. THANKS!
