The GATEWAY needs to be commented out since it is not in the eth0:1 network. You can then test using '/sbin/ifup eth0:1' or 'ifdown eth0:1' BTW, You never said what messages you got, if any.

After getting it to work, change ONBOOT back to yes. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
