sounds very much like a dns problem to me.

check you have a dns server configured?
        cat /net/ndb
My configuration is:
        term% cat /net/ndb
        ip=255.255.248.0 ipmask=/120 ipgw=199.98.16.1
                sys=hymie
        term% cat /lib/ndb/local
…
        ipnet=hymie.local ip=199.98.17.238 sys=hymie dom=hymie.cc.cooper.edu
                ether=00d059…
                auth=hymie authdom=hymie.local
                cpu=hymie fs=hymie proto=il
                dns=paperweight dnsdom=cooper.edu
                ntp=ntp.cooper.edu
                ipmask=255.255.248.0
                ipgw=199.98.16.1

        ip=199.98.16.9 sys=paperweight dom=paperweight.cooper.edu
…
The applicable line in /rc/term/termrc is
        ip/ipconfig -g 199.98.16.1 ether /net/ether0 199.98.17.238
255.255.248.0 > /dev/null >[2=1]

It looks like something's misconfigured -- but this configuration
*used* to work!

Is dns running?
Looks like it is:
        % term ps | grep dns
        chesky  46      0:00    0:00    364K    Pread   dns

Try a dns query:
        term% ndb/dnsquery
        > www.google.com
        !dns: dns failure

Check that dns is working outside your box:
        term% ndb/dnsdebug
        > www.google.com
        !dns: dns failure
and the kernel prints:
        hymie Apr 25 18:37:39 [232] dnresolve1 www.google.com 1 1
        hymie Apr 25 18:37:39 [232] dnresolve1 www.google.com 5 1
        hymie Apr 25 18:37:39 rereading /net/ndb
        hymie Apr 25 18:37:39 rereading /lib/ndb/local
        hymie Apr 25 18:37:39 rereading /lib/ndb/common
        hymie Apr 25 18:37:39 rereading /lib/ndb/auth

Hopefully this should get you a bit further.

It has, thanks.  Now I *know* that I'm totally lost.  :)
