Here is an ifconfig of my box. I added the second address just to show the results: mybox# ifconfig rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 208.70.104.3 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 208.70.104.127 inet 192.168.250.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255 ...now, mybox# ifconfig rl0 delete 192.168.250.1 ...and finally, newmarlo# ifconfig rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 208.70.104.3 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 208.70.104.127 HTH, Regards, Steve
