ifconfig command shows the following:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:E6:5C:F5

And the ifcfg-eth0 has this in it:
DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="63.229.139.217"
NETMASK="255.255.255.248"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no"
There was no ifcfg-eth0:0 file so I made one that had the second IP and
rebooted. The ifcfg-eth0:0 I made looks like this:
DEVICE="eth0:0"
IPADDR="63.229.139.218"
NETMASK="255.255.255.248"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no"
Any Ideas? I'm using Mandrake 6.1 and an older kernel 2.2.13
