Hello !!
V> I have been looking at the release notes for FreeBSD 2.2 and I noticed
V> that PPP supports IP aliasing (to use FreeBSD to share an internet
V> connection with systems it is connected to) in this vesion.
V> I would like to know if there is any way to do this with FreeBSD 2.1.6
V> (need something a bit more stable than the 2.2 beta).
It is very easy.. The IFCONFIG command supports an option for aliasing.. I have
1 machine here with many IP addresses..
John
