Topicbox-Message-UUID: 6f9ae6c4-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hi all, The newest version of VirtualBox (4.2.16) works with Plan9 (at last!) but I can't figure out how to set up networking (I had no trouble setting it up with qemu before.) For reference, I'm using VirtualBox (the version described) in a MacBook. I have tried bridget and NAT for all adapters, and the only instance I got something working was NAT, Intel PRO MT/1000 Desktop on bootup the card was detected, ip/ipconfig didn't complain with this setting (it complained with most bridged setups with Airport.) cat /net/dnb gave me 127.0.0.1 as my IP (hmmm) but Google's DNS servers, which sounds okay. ndb/dns -r didn't complain either, but ip/ping google.com did: cs problem, dns problem. I thought it was just that the network didn't work, but ip/ping 212.106.221.227 (that's google.com) or ip/ping 88.221.15.26 (that's reddit.com) did work without any problems. So my best guess is that dns (or cs) are the culprits. dnsquery does nothing (complains about anything I get to ask) and the same goes for dnsdebug ("crapped" error messages for all queries.) Any setup hint? Ruben
