If you have an alias you need to delete using the EXACT same netmask that you created the alias with SO if you used: ifconfig ed0 123.456.789.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias you need to do ifconfig ed0 123.456.789.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 delete -David Langford langfod@dihelix.com >'Course there is.
