In /etc/sysconfig at initialization time or in a script executed at "runtime" ? What is the difference ? Here is what I have in mind: In /etc/sysconfig: ifconfig_tun0="inet 10.0.2.15 10.0.2.2 netmask 0xffffff00" In a script called /etc/ppp/ppp.init /sbin/ifconfig tun0 inet 10.0.2.15 10.0.2.2 netmask 0xffffff00 alias 204.122.16.40 Beside the alias parameter in /sbin/ifconfig, are actions performed by ifconfig_tun0 different from those performed by /sbin/ifconfig. Key: 10.0.2.15 is my IP address for SLiRP connection, also a SLiRP alias for my computer. 10.0.2.2 is SLiRP's alias for ISP's host address. 204.122.16.40 is ISP's real host address. Thanks EW
