Dear Charles, Thank you very much for this very prompt reply.
Sorry to have forgotten to mention what distro I am using... So, I am playing (sure) with the 1.0 Stable Bering from our friend Jacques and all his project's collaborators. I was searching how to complete this aliasing problem in the file which described all the NIC's addresses. I don't remember the exact name of it. May be "etc/network/interfaces" ? I have not the Bering PC here... But, if I can remember, a "standard" record for one NIC is like this : auto eth3 iface eth3 inet static address 192.168.73.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.73.255 How could you input this new alias IP ?

In the current linux world (2.2 or 2.4 kernel with iproute2), you simply add the address to the interface: ip addr add 44.141.100.254/24 broadcast + dev ethX Follow this with "ip addr" and "ip route" to verify the new IP address has been added correctly, along with a route to it's subnet. Details on configuring this to happen automatically at startup, and modifying any firewall rules as required are distribution specific, and you failed to mention which distribution you are running. -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
