Then there are few remaining options .. if the above doesn't work and a netmask of 255.255.255.255 doesn't work yet you say that I may not need to split them out .. sorry, now I am confused .. what _does_ work ? > What does 'ifconfig -a' return, and what alias's are you trying to use? Currently it's primary address is 202.12.127.70 with no aliases in that subnet (I simply don't have enough "spare" in this one). Under 2.1R (generic kernel), it says .. pcm:~ % /sbin/ifconfig -a ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500 inet 202.12.127.70 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 202.12.127.79 lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 It is (naturally) the ep0 interface which presently carries all the other aliases. However, I could accomodate another ethernet card to carry the WWW and DNS stuff for the other aliases (currently, .225 through .238). What I (obviously) need to know is how this is to be constructed since the method that used to work no longer does. Am I really the only one who uses aliases this extensively ? michael
