This is often explained on linux-net in the last time. It is due to linux host (instead of interface) based addressing model. You need to remove the address instead of downing the interface. Removing is not currently supported by ifconfig for ipv4. So it is somewhat a net-tools bug. Gruss Bernd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
