 can't ping either way between a Mac OS X and plan9 (pc) connected by a crossover cable.

The pc can ping itself and the Mac and cable can ping another Mac.
	
The pc ether card (NE2000) is recognized at boot and ndb/local
has the same ether id and specifies an ip address, 135.104.117.31.

/rc/bin/termrc contains these lines:

if(! test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl)
ip/ipconfig -D   ether /net/ether0 135.104.117.31 255.255.255.0 >/dev/null >[2=1]

What am I missing, please?

Also, assuming I get by this snag, I hope to do ssh logins and ftp transfers,
and after I get a compiler for the Mac, install 9fs in the Mac.
Is it best to get the compiler from Apple?

Or, should I be considering VM ware..or?

Thanks,

-Tom

netstat -i should tell you what the kernel thinks the
ip address of each ethernet card is, along with the
netmask.  cat /net/iproute to see the routing tables.
my bet is that something there is not right and the
ping replies can't find their way back.
