[9fans] dns not running (more info)

[William Staniewicz]

Something else I noticed. When Plan9 boots up I get
a " ndb/dns: can't read my ip address ". This is
displayed just before rio.

Here is my /lib/ndb/local,

	#
	#  files comprising the database, use as many as you like, see ndb(6)
	#
	database=
	        file=/lib/ndb/local
	        file=/lib/ndb/common

	ipnet=localhost-local   ip=10.0.0.1     ipmask=255.255.255.0
	        dns=195.121.1.34

Here is Version info (wrap/info plan9),

	plan9 (full package as of Sat Oct 14 16:45:49 EDT 2000)
	pkg 964893367: Plan 9 from Bell Labs ^b^@^T Third Edition
	pkgupd 971556349 updating 961264382: Plan 9 from Bell Labs ^b^@^T Third Edition

I use the string...

	ip/ppp -s $host:$pass ..... etc....

... to log on to my ISP on my standalone PC.

Systems normally identify their ip address by matching the ethernet
address to an entry in /lib/ndb/local.

Since you don't have one you will need to tell the system
via ipconfig:

          ip/ipconfig [-ndDrG] [-b baud] [-m mtu] [-g gateway] [-h
          hostname] [-x netmtpt] type device [verb] [local-addr]
          [mask] [remote-addr] [file-server-addr] [auth-server-addr]

check the manual page for details.
