I'm able to ping my FreeBSD's 10.0.0.1 alias ethernet address but am unable to ping my Macs on 10.0.0.4. So my thought is to live with these messages. Thanks for everyone's help. FYI, the configuration I used was: ifconfig_ed1="inet 15.75.136.174 netmask 255.255.248.0" ifconfig_ed1_alias0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255" network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" defaultrouter="15.75.136.169" Ken -- Ken Lui 19111 Pruneridge Avenue klui@cup.hp.com Cupertino, CA 95014-0795 USA Information Solutions & Services 1.408.447.3230 FAX 1.408.447.0218 Views within this message may not be those of the Hewlett-Packard Company To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
