I myself have never used aliasing, i do however need to spoof my MAC sometimes on my laptop to be able to use it on other locations for my work. However thats beside the point, as far as i can see if you set a different IP# then the need for another MAC is (AFAIK) not nessasary. If ARP's are a problem then setting static arps may be an answer, once more i have no experiance with alising, possably Ray may have some advise for you. > > thanks, > > petre > -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
