To start with, you should use all 1's in the alias, otherwise local routing gets screwed up. This is what I need to do ifconfig ep0 alias 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig ep0 alias 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 4.2 million aliases later... ifconfig ep0 alias 255.255.255.255 netmask 255.255.255.255 This can't realistically be entered. I need it to respond to all IP's except its ethernet broadcast network. Sean T. Lamont, President / Chief NetNerd, Abstract Software, Inc.
