Hi there,

 I used create/delete the IP aliases on previous version
of FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p7. Right now, I am on FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE-p1 and
I am having difficult create a IP alias.

[shell@~]# ifconfig
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 209.249.146.70 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.249.146.255
        ether 00:50:b7:50:01:73
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
[shell@~]# ifconfig fxp0 alias 209.249.146.67
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
[shell@~]# ifconfig fxp0 -alias 209.249.146.67                                  ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address


Please help!! How do i solve the IP aliases. Even, I did reboot the FreeBSD
but i know it doesnt need it and it still same problem. I am lost and I checked
the man ifconfig seems same what i had done attempt create IP alias. it gave me
error.
