I disabled netplug for both interfaces, and that got rid of the error message: # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start * Bringing up interface eth1 * 10.0.0.1/8 ... [ ok ] * 192.168.250.1/24 ... [ ok ] Now I can ping addresses in the 192.168.250/24 subnet. However, I still don't see eth1:1 in netstat output the way that I do when I manually configure it. According TFM, eth1:1 should have been created for the second address. What gives? How do you see the second IP address that's configured for an interface if ifconfig won't show it to you? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
