networking in hurd

[Mohanaraj <saradiya@tm.net.my>]

Hello,

I am currently trying to get hurd to network here in my uni network. Our 
computers are connected to a LAN and get our IPs etc assigned by DHCP. I have 
a Dlink card which runs of a VIA Rhine chipset. I believe the card was 
detected during startup(i saw the msg)


I have followed Neals guide  and did the following command (the address i put 
in was the address my linux partition was assigned) .In return my i eithere 
get no response i.e the cursor doesnt accept any keyboard input or it does 
return but when i try to ping nothing happens.

settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 \
-a 10.100.106.25 -g 10.100.106.254 -m 255.255.255.0

Nevertheless if i somewhat do a loopback as follow I can ping myself. Any 
advice?

settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 \
-a 192.168.1.1 -g 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0


Thank you

Mohan
