Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.31 Message-ID: <2BD20F7BDD@mercury.csg.peachnet.edu> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I have a FreeBSD box that I would like to create an alias for that is on another subnet. Both subnets are on the same physical wire. I have used this command: ifconfig ed0 alias 168.26.195.19 netmask 255.255.255.0 The original address for ed0 is 168.26.193.19. When I do the above, I get messages on the consoles of other FreeBSD machines on the network that say: "/kernel: arplookup 168.26.195.19 failed: host is not on local network" Am I missing something, something to do with gateways or routes? Please help. Thanks in advance, C.P. ____________ Christian Plazas Columbus College, Columbus,GA 706.568.2063 ______________________________________________________________________
