First problem is that it starts walking the
IP hierarchy at the default netmask. I _think_
195 is a class c, so you'd want to add
ipnet=big-net ip=195.182.167.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0 ipsubmask=255.255.255.240
which directs it to walk down to the 255.255.255.240
subnetwork. If it's a class b you'd need
ip=192.182.0.0 ipmask=255.255.0.0 instead.
That might be enough to get you working.
If not, I would try giving your dns server
an arbitrary sys= name, and using that
in the dns= line -- what you have might
be okay, I don't remember what happens
with dom= and lookups.

thanks Russ,
you're a star
> ipnet=big-net ip=195.182.167.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
ipsubmask=255.255.255.240
worked just fine
I'm still overwhelmed with trying to learn everything at once
I'm sure glad you people are there
I'm trying to learn enough at home to be able to re-format my win98 machine
at work and do something different.
I love the ideas encapsulated in plan9 and I'm determined to become fluent
I'm in that situation where spending an hour with a live experienced user
would help enormously but there aren't any around.
Any plan9 users near Nottingham - England?
