Recently Recently [[hurd/translator/lwip]], which is an userspace tcp/ip library, was ported to the Hurd, which can serve as a direct replacement for pfinet. To configure Internet connectivity, the `pfinet` (*Protocol Family Internet*) [[translator]] must be configured. This is done using the [[`settrans`|settrans]] command, for example like this: # settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet ↩ -i eth0 -a 192.168.0.50 -g 192.168.0.1 -m 255.255.255.0 The argument `/server/socket/2` is the node that the translator is to be attached to. This is followed by the translator program to run and any arguments to give it. There, `-i`, `-a`, `-g` and `-m` are, quite obviously, the (Mach) device to use, the IP address, the gateway and netmask. --- To make DNS lookups work, you'll also have to properly configure the `/etc/resolv.conf` file, for example by copying it over from your GNU/Linux installation. --- * [[DHCP]]. * [[IPv6]]. * [[eth-filter]]: Firewall. * [[Implementation]].
