I am trying to alias IP addresses to the same host.. i will include the 
lines i am using but i have problems that when it is active the host 
locks up.. better disc would be if i telnet from the host to the router 
the router gives a HOST DOWN.. even though it is up. and if i go from the 
router to the host i get a time out.. I have checked the IP's and thay do 
not conflict..

ifconfig ep0 inet 205.218.183.1 netmask 0xffffffff alias
ifconfig ep0 inet 205.218.183.2 netmask 0xffffffff alias
ifconfig ep0 inet 205.218.183.3 netmask 0xffffffff alias

the ep host is 205.218.183.157 am i doing somthing rong?

i have read the man pages and the oreilly book.. thay were not mutch help 
on this..

thanks..
