Sysconfig won't ifconfig 1st interface Date: Mon, 03 Jun 96 13:23:47 GMT Organization: Pillar/Blake International Lines: 22 Message-ID: <4ov3hf$rc8@nadine.teleport.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.251.72.5 X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #3 Because of some problems I was having on my system, my ISP asked me to change the ip addresses on my network. After doing so, I cannot get both interfaces to ifconfig correctly: In sysconfig I have the following: network_interfaces="lo0 ix0 ed0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ix0="inet 204.119.59.163 netmask 255.255.255.240" ifconfig_ed0="inet 204.119.59.162 netmask 255.255.255.240" No matter what I do, the first interface (ix0 or ed0) gets the file exists error on reboot-- if I switch the order, putting ed0 first, ed0 fails. If I put ix0 first, ix0 fails. I have tried swapping the addressed, but the same thing happends. I can manually configure the failed interface after boot is complete. And I can also add the failed ifconfig command in rc.local and it configures correctly. Can someone please explain this mystery, and how to fix? Peace, Blake
