If you're not using (or don't want to use) DHCP then you'll have to explicitly supply the IP address of the system. Try editing termrc and change the ipconfig line: ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether0 See the man page for ipconfig(8) for more details. > Problem 2 happens when I remove "*nomp=1" from plan9.ini.

Presumably, once you get the IP address configuration sorted out, this will go away. And if you have a stand-alone system without networking, you shouldn't be running dns anyway. > I hope someone can help me. I hope I have. > > Geerten Martin
