Hi Peter, I had the same DNS issue under VirtualBox. Here is my procedure after every reboot (I am new to plan9 so there may be a better way):
1. Run ip/ipconfig 2. cat /net/ipselftab to find your VM's internal ip (10.0.x.x?) 3. Set your IP in /lib/ndb/local ip = … 4. Run ndb/dns -r I don't know enough about plan9 to know why this is necessary. I pieced this procedure together using the docs and help from the IRC channel. Plan9 is really cool though -- enjoy!
