Hi,
I have a problem with connecting windows with the alias ip address.
To add the alias I used the following command: "ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1" .
Windows is configured as ip:192.168.0.2 and netmask:255.255.255.0
Running ifconfig shows me that for eth0:0 the netmask is also 255.255.255.0.
My problem is that I even can't ping 192.168.0.1 from windows (and vice
versa). So that way networking in windows is not possible. When I use a real
ip address for windows (though someone in our subnet won't be happy when I do
this since there's no free ip address) I have no problems. Using a real ip
address I can even use 192.168.0.1 as gateway.
Does I have forgotten something or did I configure something wrong? Could you
send your output from ifconfig, please?
Thanks in advance,
Bernd
PS: Using the way Jonathan described my linux box always hardly crashes when
I run windows and the tap0 device is enabled.
