Hi,

I have 2.05-Alpha and can't get the IP number aliasing to work correctly.
The real IP number of the machine is 204.118.4.12

When I do a:
% ifconfig ep0 alias 204.118.57.13        
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists


I can't ping 204.118.57.13 from the FreeBSD machine, but I can ping it
from another machine on the net (and the FreeBSD machine answers)

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
-joe
