Getting 4.2BSD to Understand Subnetted Network

I'm adding 4 VAX 11/750's with *binary-only* 4.2BSD licenses
(previously running on an XNS network) to a TCP/IP
network.  The network is a Class B network, with a 255.255.255.0
netmask.  4.2BSD seems not to understand subnetting, so the
first such machine on the net sees only itself and a few
others (386's with an older TCP/IP) which also don't understand
subnetting.

What can be done with 4.2BSD to make things work?

PLEASE NOTE:  As indicated above, we do not have source for
4.2BSD.  (Long story, not appropriate here.)

Thank you.
