	I've connected my NeXT to the university's Ethernet and I'm
able to telnet to other hosts within the campus domain. When I try to
reach hosts outside the domain, I get a "network is unreachable"
message.

	The NeXT is not configured as part of a NetInfo net and I
believe I've done the local configuration in NetMgr correctly. (I'm
assuming here that if I hadn't, I wouldn't be able to reach other UVic
hosts). I'm able to connect to the other campus machines with either a
domain name or an IP address, so I figure my machine is addressing the
campus domain name server correctly.

	I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

	Thanks.

	Michael.
