cannot resolve: Host name lookup failure

I installed FreeBSD on my server today via PC-BSD because I was having problems with ZFS. Everything went fine except my Ethernet wasn't configured automatically like sysinstall normally does it. It got an IP from the router and I could see it in the router config but I couldn't ssh into it. After reading a little bit in the handbook I made this change to /etc/rc.conf

Code: 
ifconfig_nfe0=inet 192.168.15.207 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Now I can ssh into it but I can't seem to resolve anything when I ping google or yahoo. Anyone know the next step I should take in troubleshooting this?
 
Thanks! I'm one step closer, maybe I'm missing something.

Here's what I've added to /etc/resolve.conf

Code: 
defaultrouter="192.168.15.1"
nameserver 192.168.15.1

ping google:
Code: 
PING www.google.com (172.194.79.105): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
...
 
ok, had a stupid moment, my router isn't my dns, the only machine I have that has internet on it right now is windows and I can't find the DNS on here and network-tools.com gives me one but it doesn't seem to want to work.

edit:
I took the easy way out and used sysinstall
