Hi, I've got a server I'm trying to bring up that has 2 nics in it. I have 2 valid public ip's, so thats not the issue. the 2 nics are 2 seperate things. one is for dns and one is for mail (I know, I could just go with 1, but I'm trying to get this working anyhow). I'm using FreeBSD 4.6.2 pl2. The nic's are: 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL (xl0 - has current ip) Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet (fxp0 - one i'm trying to add ip to) rc.conf looks like: defaultrouter="65.221.xxx.xw" hostname="mail.xxx.com" #only working for xl atm. working on it. ifconfig_xl0="inet 65.221.xxx.xx netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_fxp0="inet 65.221.xxx.xy netmask 255.255.255.192" I've tried switching the order, letting one boot then adding the ip to the other nic....nothing. same error. If I do an ifconfig fxp0 add 65.221.xxx.xy netmask 255.255.255.0, it adds it, but i can't ping it (more then likely because of the netmask AND because it's an alias? adding it with 255.255.255.192 gives me: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what I'm assuming wrong? I'd really like to get both of these nics up with a public ip.
