Hi I am trying to configure my machine interface by ifconfig command. I want to add another alias address for the interface with the ifconfig command. ifconfig ed1 alias [address] netmask [netmask] if I am using the netmask option with netmask same as of the netmask of the exsisting configured addres, I am getting error "File exsits" If I didn't using the netmas option or giving some other netmask the command exits succesfully. But if I typed the "ifconfig ed1", it doesn't show me all the address. It shows only the old address. Even if I don't use the alias option in the ifconfig command I found the same problem. For the "ifconfig ed1", it shows the old address. I didn't understand the logic. If anybody has the answer for it, please reply. Rishi
