Hello Everyone, When I set up an IP alias I enter the following: ifconfig ed1 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.240 alias route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 127.0.0.1 0 This seems to work OK but after the first line it reports: "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists" What does this mean and do I need to worry about it? Also to automate this proceedure at startup, in which file should I make the IP aliasing entries? Thanks, Kurt ---------------------------------------------------------------- Kurt Jones - WOFTAM Jones Pty Ltd Ph:+61 3 9735 5386 www.woftam.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
