Here's what I did, for my own local network (I'm not connected to a WAN).

Make some addresses in /etc/hosts:

<6 wormhole># cat /etc/hosts
192.0.2.10	wormhole		#NetBSD machine
192.0.2.11	c610			#Centris w/MacOS
192.0.2.12	macii			#MacII w/MacOS


Make a file /etc/hostname.ae0 .   This causes your enet to be configured:

<7 wormhole># cat /etc/hostname.ae0
inet wormhole 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.255
NONE NONE


Then I make an adjustment to /etc/netstart -- set
timed_flags=NO

Seems timed complains if it cannot find anyone to talk to.

Hope this helps...
