Well, they aren't. I use ip 192.168.0.x for the local network. The gateway has an ip assigned by an ISP (modem using ppp), and also a 192.168.0.x ip for the local network. How would i use ip aliasing? (if it's in some man page, just tell me which one, since it's not under aliasing, ip-aliasing or gateway) FlorizzzZz ********************* * When all is done, * * the next is ahead * ********************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
