Situation: I have built a machine with two network interfaces and tried assigning local addresses in the same subnet mask: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 for example to each of the interfaces and only one of the interfaces will respond to a connection attempt (via ftp or ssh for example). I found that each of the interfaces have to be assigned an address in a different subnet. for them to both be usable. Q: Is this characteristic of tcp/ip in general, or specific to FreeBSD? I have created aliases for different addresses in the same subnet on one interface and have had that work. Thanks for knowledgeable responses; Jeff K
