I've never done it on FreeBSD before, but I understand that the Solaris syntax is as follows: ifconfig ed0 1.2.3.4 ifconfig ed0 1.2.3.5 alias ifconfig ed0 1.2.3.4 ifconfig ed0:0 1.2.3.4 ifconfig ed0:1 1.2.3.5 I've tried this and various combinations, but to no avail. Perhaps I don't have aliasing enabled in the kernel or some other option. This is on FreeBSD 2.0.5-R. Thanks for any help, Nate <nate@elite.net>
