Topicbox-Message-UUID: 6fa8157e-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hi Ingo, I had perused that thread already (almost all Google results, in fact.) But your answer made me realise something: I wasn't using qemu because I could not install a fresh Plan9 in a Qemu image from within Qemu (I don't remember the problem now.) But now I can boot the qemu image I have created with VirtualBox and I'm happy with Qemu :) Now problem is that although the dns server is configured correctly (dnsquery google.com ip returns a bunch of ips for google) ip/ping answers with corrupted reply. But abaco browses correctly so... I won't bother. Thanks!
