When the provider assigned me the IP's they also said use the netmask 255.255.255.240. I added the IP's to my rc.conf as you can see below but they do not show up in my ifconfig.

That tells me there is something wrong with the following line but I can not find anything wrong with the line. If I try and ping the next IP from the box locally I get the following: [7:58](freebie@warped)[/etc]> ping 208.53.17X.3 PING 208.53.17X.3 (208.53.17X.3): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ^C Why don't my IP's show up in ifconfig?
