Didn't work. Why would you suggest putting it in the rc.conf like that? I mean calling it xl0_alias5 then commenting it on the end of the line as "# first" ? Maybe I've done something wrong. Also, aren't you supposed to have an netmask of 255.255.255.255 for an alias? Keith ================================= Keith W.
