Thanks for the response. I edited my /lib/ndb/local to look like this:
ip=10.50.50.94 ipsubmask=255.255.255.0
ipgw=10.50.50.1
dns=10.50.50.1
And here's the result of the commands suggested:
% ip/ipconfig -g 10.50.50.1 ether /net/ether0 10.50.50.94
255.255.255.0
% ndb/dns -r
% ssh eon.cs.ucr.edu
ssh: dialing eon.cs.ucr.edu: cs: temporary problem: dns: dns
failure
This error message occurs after a long pause. I also still cannot ping
the router.

Trying to make sense of the Network configuration wiki, I added the
following to my /lib/ndb/local file:
ip=10.50.50.104 ipsubmask=255.255.255.0
ipgw=10.50.50.1
dns=10.50.50.1
I manually put in 10.50.50.104, and have a feeling I shouldn't be doing
this. In any case, the result was a failure. The plan9 machine can ping
itself at 10.50.50.104, but can't ping 10.50.50.1. DNS queries fail with
the error: dns: temporary failure.
I tried looking through previous 9fans posts for ways to configure a
simple connection to a router, unsuccessfully.
Would someone be so kind as to help me find a way to get the ethernet
card connected to the router, and hence, the internet? Apologies again,
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. Thanks for your time.
I'd recommend choosing an address outside of the dhcp pool of
addresses; for instance 10.50.50.94. Modify /lib/ndb/local to reflect
the change. Add the following to either your termrc or cpurc
configuration file:
ip/ipconfig -g 10.50.50.1 ether /net/ether0 10.50.50.94 255.255.255.0
Review the termrc or cpurc configuration file and ensure the following
is stated:
/ndb/dns -r
For testing purposes, try modifying the /lib/ndb/local file as
suggested then run the two commands before modifying any other files.
If you can connect at that point then add the commands to your
configuration.
