without knowing the specifics, it's very hard to say. i suppose you did try ip/ipconfig without any options at all? and that when you did try to specify everything manually, you did use either an old-school netmask like 255.255.255.0 or /120 and not /24. since all plan 9 ip addresses are stored in v6 format, the netmasks need to specify the number of bits in the network accordingly. when i debug dhcp problems, i generally start by running snoopy on the dhcp server. - erik
