Yes, and they all do not recognize the aliased interfaced and do not react properly.
DHCP gives a similar type of error syaing that the interface doesn't respond correctly. As for shorewall, it won't work using the variable but works when you specify the ip address (there is a section on this in the shorewall faq).

By chance have you set dhcpd, ppp/pppoe, and shorewall to use the alias'ed interface instead of the stock physical interface? There are more than a few people using alias'ed interfaces with Bering w/o reported problems, though I don't know if any of them are using PPPoE. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
