Back on-list again. dhclient almost works, see below: (Thanks Samuel for your help so far.)

The problem is that ifconfig (and route) from net-tools is not available. A partial replacement seems to be inetutils-ifconfig. > ifup eth0 /bin/sh: ifconfig: not found Failed to bring up eth0. > ifdown eth0 ifdown: interface eth0 not configured Something still seems to be wrong with the dhclient, since I cannot get out externally with eth0 set up with dhcp, and apt-get does not work. iface eth0 inet dhcp ssh -v external.site OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-2, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to external.site [IPv6 address] port 22. socket: Address family not supported by protocol debug1: Connecting to external.site [IPv4 address] port 22. debug1: connect to address 194.71.11.69 port 22: Network is unreachable ssh: connect to host external.site port 22: Network is unreachable In linux you have the route command from net-tools to check the routing table, but it seems to FTBFS on Hurd. Looks like pfinet is aware of the gateway address, but it still does not seem to work. root 80 0.1 0.2 132M 2.04M - So 8:40PM 0:55.75 /hurd/pfinet --interface=eth0 --address=10.0.2.15 --netmask=255.255.0.0 --gateway=10.0.2.2
