This looks like an error generated if you are adding an IP alias within the same subnet of an already configured IP. If this is the case, apply it like this: # ifconfig fxp0 63.82.200.42/32 or # ifconfig fxp0 63.82.200.42 netmask 255.255.255.255 You weren't very clear if this is an alias or not, but it's my first guess.
