/net/ndb has your ip address, gateway, dns servers, domain.

Others have answered what to do within plan9. On the
virtualbox side you need to attach to 'bridged adapter'
instead of NAT. Pick the right "name" (which is really the
interface name on the host) -- wi-fi (airport) for instacnce
if you are on a MBP. I think the default adapter type should
work (Intel pro/1000 MT desktop). You may also have to tell
the dhcp server about mac address etc. depending on how it is
set up.
