This question was the basis for a useful thread a week ago: googling or sifting through the archives should turn up some useful information. I think every variant of UNIX supports this with ifconfig: something like this (depending on your interface device name).

If you have limited NICs, they're likely using aliases, which is covered although briefly in the ifconfig man page. Easy on Linux, haven't used IP aliases on freebsd as of yet, but a quick google shows: http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/6/ IP Aliasing Doc/Tutorial...

You can use the tool ifconfig and figure out the right line to feed it. You can also start the scripts: /etc/netstart. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
