Hello all!
I've been following Raymii's guide to setting up hobbyist amd64/VMS to the letter, and yet my VM is unable to ping outside addresses; anytime I attempt to, it throws “ping: sendto: no route to host” for IP addresses, or “%SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable” for named websites. What do I do?

Re: VMS beginner having issues setting up networking
Quick answer to that - you shouldn't be using IP addresses - set it up properly and use names

Thanks for the suggestion. Now, please explain how to "set it up
properly" without typing any IP addresses.
I use names. I run my own DNS server (BIND) for my own domain(s),
and I'm confident that I had to specify some actual IP addresses when I
did that. Or perhaps I'm missing something crucial.
"Quick" and "enlightening" are spelled differently for a reason?
