We have a cube on a class-B subnet with a gateway that doesn't speak
RIP. To get the 0.9 release to network properly, we had to:
1. edit /etc/hostconfig by hand, and enter the appropriate values
for ROUTER (the ip address of our gateway), and IPNETMASK.
2. edit /etc/rc, and change line 107 from:
/usr/etc/route add default $ROUTER 0 >/dev/console 2>&1
to:
/usr/etc/route add default $ROUTER 1 >/dev/console 2>&1
3. edit /etc/rc.boot, and change line 88 from:
/usr/etc/ifconfig en0 $INETADDR -trailers up >/dev/console 2>&1
to:
/usr/etc/ifconfig en0 $INETADDR netmask $IPNETMASK -trailers up >/dev/console 2>&
NeXT is converging on easy network configuration, but isn't there yet...
