Hi, I have been faced with a very peculiar problem. With kernel 2.2.5 when I define the interface aliases having IP addresses in the same network as the original interface, all the packets to that network are routed via the alias and not the original interface. eth0 has IP address 192.168.0.2 eth0:0 has IP address 192.168.0.220 Now all the packets on 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 network have the source IP set as 192.168.0.220. Can anyone explain why this is happening? Is there any way I can change the source to 192.168.0.2 which is the interface IP address? Here is what the routing table looks like... Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Thank You.
