given a symbolic net!host!service string, cs(8) produces a set of possible
recipes to make the corresponding connection.  the recipe is interpreted as:
	open the name given by the first field, and
	write the string given by the second field
to make a connection.  each line gives a different possibility, which
applications via dial(2) try in sequence until one works (or the last one fails).

in your case, it means that ndb looks fine (as far as i can tell), and you
need to check that both cpu server and file server have correctly configured
interfaces.

on the cpu server, try

cat /net/ipselftab
cat /net/iproute
cat /net/ipifc/0/status

on the file server ...
it's harder.  there isn't a command to print the configuration.
try
	state
which gives ethernet status.
and
	arp print

but it will also be helpful to know the file server configuration as given in config mode
to see how you've configured the interfaces.

This is what the commands returned
il!odysseus!9fs:
/net/il/clone 192.168.1.3!17008

il!achilles!cpu:
/net/il/clone 192.168.1.1!17013

net!odysseus!9fs:
/net/il/clone 192.168.1.3!17008
/net/tcp/clone 192.168.1.3!564


??? whats this mean ??

Ok, we're having trouble with communication between the fileserver and cpu
server.  IT says timeout cant establish a connection.  Our ndb/local looks
like this:

database=
        file=/lib/ndb/local
        file=/lib/ndb/common


ipnet=plan9 ip=192.168.1.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
        fs=odysseus
        auth=achilles

ip=192.168.1.1 sys=achilles ether=0020af4cc97b
        proto=il

ip=192.168.1.3 sys=odysseus ether=0020af4cc981
        proto=il


does this seem right or does it need to be changed.  We are keeping
everyting local.
