Looks like my original post did not come through for some reason. Maybe it was too long. Here's the most important example from the original post. It works as-is. If I uncomment the commented "up" and "down" lines, everything breaks. Yes, I have real numbers and not nnn in the real config file.: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address nn.nnn.179.107 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast nn.nnn.179.127 gateway nn.nnn.179.97 up ip addr add nn.nnn.179.108/27 broadcast nn.nnn.179.127 label eth0:1 dev eth0 # up ip addr add nn.nnn.179.109/27 broadcast nn.nnn.179.127 label eth0:2 dev eth0 down ip addr del nn.nnn.179.108/27 label eth0:1 dev eth0 # down ip addr del nn.nnn.179.109/27 label eth0:2 dev eth0 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 192.168.0.8 192.168.0.16 Thanks, JW -- ---------------------- System Administrator - Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
