you /lib/ndb has the loopback interface and auth settings for your
virtual net?

I remember putting in something like the following on my VMWare
instance (:

ipnet=vmnet ip=192.168.254.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
	auth=vm
	cpu=vm
	fs=vm
	bootf=/386/9pc
	dns=192.168.254.2
	dnsdom=YOURDOMAIN
authdom=YOURDOMAIN auth=vm

ip=192.168.254.105 sys=vm ether=VIRTETHER
	dom=YOURDOMAIN



VMWare created it's NAT'd address on 192.168.254.X

So I also do the following to ease the pain:

[home:~] jas% cat `which cpu`
#!/usr/local/plan9/bin/rc

if(! ~ $#* 1){
	echo 'usage: cpu <user>'
	exit usage
}

drawterm -a 192.168.254.105 -c 192.168.254.105 -u $1
