Hi,

I'm trying to add another IP address to the NIC, xl0, by adding the line:

ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.2  netmask 255.255.255.128"

which completes it:

ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.1  netmask 255.255.255.128"
ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.2  netmask 255.255.255.128"

I can ping "192.168.1.1" but not "192.168.1.2" from the same host but I can
ping both IPs from another machine. Why is this so?
