Hi does anyone know how I can using ip aliasing with the /etc/network/interfaces (debian method). I could easily add another startup script with ifconfigs and routes, but that would be messy and uncalled for and I'm sure someone must have done it before and got it right. Nomatter what I've tried neither my pcmcia eth0 device is configured, (although the module for it loads fine) nor are any of the aliases configured. I've tried the following lines : auto lo eth0 eth0:1 eth0:2 // Didn't work auto lo eth0 // Didn't work Also I tried changing the order of execution for the networking script, but to no avail : i.e. # mv /etc/rc2.d/S40networking /etc/rc2.d/S99networking and # mv /etc/rc2.d/S40networking /etc/rc2.d/S04networking I've attached my /etc/network/interfaces if anyone wants to take a look, and feel free to ask me to post any more files. They're all pretty small i.e. <10k PS : Bg info on my system : Running Woody Testing / 2.4.7 kernel / xirc_2pcs driver for pcmcia NIC. Sony VAIO laptop (don't think that'll be of much use though :-) ) Thanks George
