RE: ifconfig alias problems
Well on my 5.2.1 it does not have a broadcast and it works ifconfig_em0="inet etc" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet etc netmask 0x" ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet etc netmask 0x" Aren't there any errors in your syslog or something? did you verify that you have a ifconfig_sis0 statement before the aliases? Isn't there an error on screen when booting up etc..

ifconfig alias problems
Hi Responding to my ISP to change my IP block, I simply changed the numbers in my config files and thought that there would be no problems. However, for some reason, alias doesn't want to work from rc.conf. When I say 'doesn't work', I mean that I cannot ping my nameserver: 208.238.88.101 If I remove the alias from rc.conf, I can ping the server. If I add the same alias from the command line, I can still ping the server. This does not make sense to me. Should rc.conf and ifconfig from the command line be the same? Here are the two commands: rc.conf - doesn't work: ifconfig_sis0_alias0="inet 64.191.147.115 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_sis0_alias0="inet 64.191.147.115 netmask 0x (tried both - at different times) ifconfig from command line - works: ifconfig sis0 alias 64.191.147.115 netmask 0x Any help is appreciated.
