Whoa, hold it right there. Who's managing this network? You should solve the problem whereby machines steal each other's IP addresses - either with better policies, or by using a DHCP server. > As I know > when i start the computer in this case, > eth0 will fail to get ip and therefore eth0:0 can't get ip either although > eth0:0 has no confliction. The complete answer to this question depends on what operating system you are using, which you haven't specified. But if you really think you need to do this, assign eth0 a private IP address that no one else is likely to steal, and then you can use whatever you need for the eth0:0, eth0:1, etc. But like I said before, you should solve the real problem - well-behaved hosts do not steal each other's IP numbers. _______________________________________________ mon mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
