I have a wd elite 16 on irq 2, and the machine comes back as irq 9 also.
But mine works ok.

ifconfig ne0 192.1.1.2 255.255.255.0       (net mask is required?)
route add default 192.1.1.10

If you want name serving, create   /etc/resolv.conf
and put the lines:

nameserver 192.1.1.10
domain myhouse.de

If your machine was called  machine.myhouse.de   then   ftp myhouse would work
if the name server was running.

I was able to ftp everywhere within 2 minuntes of loading the 10 bindist
disks, by typing the above 2 commands (my numbers were different of course)
