My ed0 interface has ip address 192.168.0.9 ifconfig ed0 alias 192.168.3.9 works, so does any other address with the network part different from previous aliases. ifconfig ed0 alias 192.168.0.10 doesn't work, nor does any address with the network part the same as a previous alias. Is this an interface problem or a routing / address translation problem? Jos
