Hey all,
    We've had four of five people join #plan9,
on EFnet, in the last month or so, with problems
relating to their VMware image. The problem is
always that, after an:
    ip/ipconfig -g GATE ether /net/ether0 ip mask ...
said user is unable to make contact with the
network in any form. At first, I simply assumed it
was a user failure in {dns,cs}, but, writing raw data
to '#l0/data' also fails to manifest on the local
network, yet, does not generate any errors on the
local system. All I can surmise is that there is some
kind of disconnection between the VMware and
the underlying system. Not having used VMware,
I don't exactly know how to debug this situation.
Since noone has brought the issue up to 9Fans (I've
been waiting...) I thought I would. I'd like to know
the solution.
