DECstation 5000/200. The gxemul configuration file has defaults for net
section (no special overrides).  Inside Ultrix, I am doing the following:

ifconfig ln0 10.0.0.1
route add default 10.0.0.254 1

This should allow you to e.g. telnet to numeric IPv4 addresses such as
Google:

telnet 216.58.211.132 80

and then type "GET /" to get the Google home page.

There is also some kind of setup script called /etc/netsetup which you can
try, I don't know if it makes name resolution work though.

http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_Ultrix_4.5_on_SIMH may be of some help,
although it is a different emulator and a different emulated platform.

And the ULTRIX man pages for route and possibly resolv.conf:
