Try making that

sys=cejchan
	ip=147.231.118.21 ether=0020af4b53f9
	dom=cejchan.gli.cas.cz


Notes:
- the key name is always ether, not ether0 etc.
- the value of key should be in lower case
- ip and ether conventionally appear on the
	same line, so that things work if you have
	more than one of them.

Still not working, but .... oooooooops!  ......my card is 3C509, not  3C589. This might matter,
or does not it?

TIA, cheers,
Peter.

which type of ethernet card are you using,
and what is its description in plan9.ini?

Thanks for help! However, I still get the following errors. I must have missed something: installation was pretty smooth, however, setup, done according the start.ps,
is troublesome. 

term% ndb/dns
ndb/dns: can't read my ip address

term% cat /net/ether0/addr
cat: can't open /net/ether0/addr: file does not exist

(even /net/ether0 does not exist)

# This is /lib/ndb/local
#
database=
	file=/lib/ndb/local
	file=/lib/ndb/common

ipnet=gli-cas-cz ip=147.231.118.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
	ipgw=147.231.118.1
	dns=147.231.118.2

sys=cejchan
	ip=147.231.118.21
	ether0=0020AF4B53F9

Hi,

(a newbie's question follows)
how do I specify the 'ether= ' entry? (= where do I get the proper number to use?)

TIA,
