On "28", your netmask should be 255.255.255.255 (better yet, 0xffffffff) not the "240". Try that and your troubles should go away. In rc.conf ifconfig_dc0="inet 209.46.51.22 netmask 255.255.255.240" ifconfig_dc0_alias0="inet 209.46.51.28 netmask 255.255.255.255" ... or: ifconfig_dc0_alias0="inet 209.46.51.28 netmask 0xffffffff" Best regards, Jack L.
