These new tools will let you twiddle a lot more knobs in the linux network stack. for instance, in this case, you can use "ip addr add dev eth0 <neededip>/<netmask>" to assign more than one IP address to a single interface. "ip addr" or "ip addr show" for ip level details "ip link" or "ip link show" for link level details "ip route" or "ip route show" for routing table details "ip addr del dev eth0 <ip>/<netmask>" to remove an IP. More info @ http://www.linuxgrill.com/iproute2-toc.html Off topic but, "vconfig" will let you create VLAN interfaces, if that's next on your agenda. -- Ranjeet Shetye Senior Software Engineer Zultys Technologies Ranjeet dot Shetye2 at Zultys dot com http://www.zultys.com/ The views, opinions, and judgements expressed in this message are solely those of the author.
