Hello, fellow 9fans. I'm a Plan 9 newcomer and I've been playing with getting a simple standalone Plan 9 system going in QEMU and I'm having problems getting the networking to work. I tried running "ip/ipconfig" and "ndb/dns -r" which should be sufficient to get the networking going using the built-in NAT and DHCP stuff in QEMU but it doesn't seem to work. Attempts to run a simple DNS query fail miserably like so:
> google.com ip !dns: dns failure Am I missing something? Do I need to edit some configurations somewhere? I'd really like to get my little Plan 9 system online so that I can connect to some of the various resources available (contrib, source pulls, etc) and I'd appreciate any help you folks can give. PS: Yes, I know that 9grid has perbuilt images that "just work". I was hoping to learn how to get things going myself so that I learn a bit more than I would using a turnkey system. Mike
