Hm. This doesn't work for me (latest potato i386). Here's the stanza I add to /etc/network/interfaces (all values given to me by an admin): iface eth0:0 inet static address the.new.ip.adr netmask 255.255.255.192 gateway the.new.ip.gw broadcast the.new.ip.255 After running /etc/init.d/networking restart, I get this from ifconfig: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:9C:8B:BF inet addr:10.0.0.102 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:279 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:107 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0xd000 eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:9C:8B:BF inet addr:the.new.ip.adr Bcast:the.new.ip.255 Mask:255.255.255.192 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:11 Base address:0xd000 Note that the :0 alias doesn't have lines beginning with "RX packets" or "TX packets". I can't ping the.new.ip.adr either, from anywhere. I recompiled the kernel to turn on IP_ALIAS support. Is there another feature I need to turn on, that I perhaps missed? Is the feature limited to certain hardware? Is it limited to certain subnet masks? It's like magic, this *just* came up out of the blue at work! :) Please cc me, so I can get the email at work, where I need it :) =wl
