The netmask should be 255.255.255.255 if the alias'd IP is on the same subnet as the main IP for this interface. 2. Your ifconfig syntax is wrong. You need a 'netmask' keyword between the ip addresses. 3. The route add is redundant; the system will DTRT with regard to routing your alias. So, try the following in sysconfig: ifconfig_ed0_alias0="208.197.69.20 netmask 0xffffffff alias" Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
