If your xen configuration bridges the virtual network interfaces
onto the physical ethernet, it's easy.  You just give Plan 9 another
address on the same subnet.  If you have a DHCP server on the local
network, the Plan 9 command
  ip/ipconfig
should pick up the configuration information from dhcp and do everything
needed.  Otherwise, suppose you want to give Plan 9 address 192.168.0.42
and your router is at 192.168.0.99; then use the command
  ip/ipconfig -g 192.168.0.99 ether /net/ether0 add 192.168.0.42
