Re: [9fans] How to set up network?

Hi Angelo,

You need to configure some DNS servers in e.g. /lib/ndb/local.

I have some notes on setting up a standalone Plan 9 CPU and file  
server at the following URL:

http://wildflower.diablonet.net/~scaron/p9setup.html

It sounds like you're just trying to set up a terminal so this won't  
be quite the same, but, really, a standalone terminal is of limited  
use; setting up a proper server is much more interesting. You should  
consider it.

Best,

-Sean
