Pfinet is a TCP/IP stack from an old linux version. It works but is not maintained. 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 /dev/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.
You can see your currently running `pfinet`'s options via
$ fsysopts /servers/socket/2 # provides IPv4
/hurd/pfinet --interface=/dev/eth0 --address=ADDRESS --netmask=NETMASK --gateway=GATEWAY --address6=ADDRESS --address6=ADDRESS --gateway6=::
$ fsysopts /servers/socket/26 # provides IPv6
/hurd/pfinet --interface=/dev/eth0 --address=ADDRESS --netmask=ADDRESS --gateway=GATEWAY --address6=ADDRESS --address6=ADDRESS --gateway6=::
---
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.
