I've tried using the alias option on ifconfig to set ed0 : to multiple addresses, but this only works with two. All the examples : I've seen only set up two ip addresses. I've tried multiple aliases, : multiple commands, but the bottom line is I can only have two. : I've got the problem hacked by setting up multiple fake slip ports, but : this seems so damn clumsy. : Is there a better way? Sure .. setup the ether to have multiple ip's as you tried. It has to work, does for me at least. I've got 5 aliases, but I've heard of people who had *lots* more aliases .. Did you try just typing it on the command line ? ifconfig ed0 inet x.y.z.5 (primary, suppose this is present) ifconfig ed0 inet x.y.z.10 netmask 0xffffffff alias route add x.y.z.10 x.y.z.5 ifconfig ed0 inet x.y.z.11 netmask 0xffffffff alias route add x.y.z.11 x.y.z.5 ifconfig ed0 inet x.y.z.12 netmask 0xffffffff alias route add x.y.z.12 x.y.z.5 etc .. If it works on the command line, your problem is the configuration in the system files. Actually now we're talking about that, where did you put the ifconfig's ? If you put them (hardcoded) into the sysconfig file you're up shit creek since netstart will only read the last one. Perhaps you should put them into /etc/start_if.ed0 (only the ifconfig's) - Rob. -- /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ -- /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
