I'm running it in VirtualBox 4.3.6 and I'm running into the DNS problem that has been reported earlier [1] ip/ipconfig seems to run fine but it assigns an address of 127.0.0.1 and DNS doesn't work. Unfortunately (as far as I can see) the previous reports didn't come up with a solution or the reporter found a different way to run Plan 9. I used the -D option on ip/ipconfig and got this: term% ip/ipconfig -D ipconfig: parsebootp: new packet ipconfig: parseoptions: type(53) len 1, bytes left 58 ipconfig: parseoptions: serverid(54) len 4, bytes left 55 ipconfig: parseoptions: lease(51) len 4, bytes left 49 ipconfig: parseoptions: ipmask(1) len 4, bytes left 43 ipconfig: parseoptions: ipgw(3) len 4, bytes left 37 ipconfig: parseoptions: dns(6) len 4, bytes left 31 ipconfig: got offer from 0.0.0.0 ipconfig: lease=86400 ipconfig: server=192.168.1.1 sname= ipconfig: parsebootp: new packet ipconfig: parseoptions: type(53) len 1, bytes left 58 ipconfig: parseoptions: serverid(54) len 4, bytes left 55 ipconfig: parseoptions: lease(51) len 4, bytes left 49 ipconfig: parseoptions: ipmask(1) len 4, bytes left 43 ipconfig: parseoptions: ipgw(3) len 4, bytes left 37 ipconfig: parseoptions: dns(6) len 4, bytes left 31 ipconfig: got ack from 0.0.0.0 ipconfig: lease=86400 ipconfig: ipaddr=192.168.1.25 ipmask=255.255.255.0 ipconfig: ipgw=192.168.1.1 ipconfig: dns=192.168.1.1 ipconfig: server=192.168.1.1 sname= term% cat /net/ndb ip=127.0.0.1 ipmask=/104 ipgw=:: sys=gnot sys=gnot dns=192.168.1.1 Does anyone know how I might go about solving the problem?
