This is quite simple with Linux if you have support for ip aliasing built into the kernel you are using. If you don't then you must recompile the kernel, and that is beyond the scope of this list. Other than that, you perform a `ifconfig` statement just as you do with a normal eth(n) device, except that you refer to distinct aliases, for each extra IP address. exa. ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 On 20 Mar 2001 18:51:09 +0530, Dhananjay Kelkar wrote: > Hi, > > Could you please tell me the procedure of settting up 2 IP addresses > for one physical host (one ethernet card) ?
