At the command prompt, you'll have to use ifconfig to remove the alias then re-add it, I don't think I'd be re-excuting /etc/netstart to do this. -Gerry -------- Web Hosting / Domain Hosting / DNS Services at www.interpool.ca -------------------------- ifconfig delete 63.106.140.203 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
