Well, you're right, but the next thing I want to do after issuing that command (ifconfig eth0 down) is "ifconfig up 199.x.x.x eth0" (and the other stuff, too, this is for brevity) I get an error message about the address already being taken. I need to delete all together the eth0:0, bringing it down doesn't work. If I just type "ifconfig up" again, I'm back at square 1. I've tried to bring down only the alias, but I can't: I have to bring down the whole eth0. But then that's my problem. Bringing it down doesn't delete the alias. Where are the ifconfig settings stored, anyway?
