I seem to have subnet support and I didn't do anything special to get
it. I am using 0.99pl6. The subnet seems to be derived from the
network entry in the /etc/hosts file which is "grepped" by /etc/rc.net
and used as a parameter to the config call.
We are subnetted and I have had no problems connecting to or from
machiines outside my subnet.
Do you have a correct router and network entry in your /etc/hosts?
Does your /etc/rc.net grep for them and pass them to config?
Cheers,
Andrew
