Try something like:

settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -a 192.168.0.123 -m 255.255.255.0 
-i eth0

Or is it socket instead of sockets.  I am confused today.

That is about the same.

Only if you volunteer :)

This won't be too hard and I can help you a bit.  I already put some
patches on savannah.  If you are interested, please tell me.

There are 3 things that need to be done:

- Add some required interfaces to pfinet.  This is almost done, please
  don't look at this stuff, just kick my ass. :)

- Implement these interfaces as ioctls in glibc.

- Add support to one (or if possible some) dhcp clients.

Thanks,
Marco
