You didn't give the routing table, but you probably had the wrong netmask. For instance, I have: # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 xxx.yyy.192.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 xxx.yyy.192.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Adding another ip address you add something like: aaa.bbb.ccc.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth0:1 If the netmask is wrong, packets could be misrouted or even dropped. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
