So... to be clear... you want to be able to specify the _source_ IP that your irc client will use when it connects outward? The OS isn't going to do that for you. Your client will have to have an option that allows you to specify the source IP (much like the '-S' option of 'ping'). There's been some discussion recently about what the OS will select as the source address. In this case its pretty clear. Its going to grab your main IP address (i.e. the one that doesn't have a netmask of 0xfffffff and does share a subnet with your default gateway/next hop). -Steve > my ip isn't baned > > and the problem is that whenever i'm trying to use my second ip it rolls > over to first, and thats what i'm trying to figureout and fix it > > > ----- Original Message ----- > To: <Eric_Stanfield@kenokozie.com> > Cc: "alexus" <ml@db.nexgen.com>; <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 4:32 PM > Subject: Re: another ip as alias on NIC doesn't work properly > > > > On Tue, Aug 07, 2001 at 03:29:21PM -0500, Eric_Stanfield@kenokozie.com > wrote: > > > > > > I think it safe to say that no one has a clue as to what you are > attempting > > > to do.
