Now, what I have is a start_if.ed1 file in /etc that reads: ifconfig ed1 alias 198.109.196.252 netmask 255.255.255.0 I also have had the netmask at 0xffffffff, and it worked from the outside world, but not from the machine it is aliased to. Anyone know which netmask I should use? I was told both of the above by two seperate people.
