Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 15:26:20 GMT Organization: CNG Group Inc. Lines: 35 Message-ID: <41vbsr$3a9@nntp.igs.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ptetreau.cng.on.ca X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99.82 Hello All. I'm having some difficulties getting rid of an alias I've set for a network device on one of my BSD/OS v.2.0 machines. (The device is an ne2000 compatible card). I've set the alias with the following command: % ifconfig ne0 xxx.xxx.xxx.251 alias Looking at netstat -i, I see: Name Mtu Network Address ne0 1500 xxx.xxx.xxx ursa ne0 1500 xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.251 So far, so good. A simple ifconfig ne0 gives: % ne0: flags=(blah, blah, blah) inet xxx.xxx.xxx.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255 So the alias doesn't show here. Therefore, when I try to get rid of the alias with: % ifconfig xxx.xxx.xxx.251 delete it gives me: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS) : no such interface All the man pages in the world haven't cleared up this mystery yet. Help!!??!! Pascale Tetreault ptetreau@cng.on.ca
