What I was describing was if you were using NetworkManager. One "downside" if using my method is that "ifconfig" won't show the second IP address. But since "Ifconfig" has been depreciated.... :-) :-) In any case, these configuration won't work when DHCP is desired. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
