Here is what I have on a RHEL5 system with no issues: ifcfg-eth0:0: DEVICE=eth0:0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=130.111.16.171 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=130.111.16.0 NAME=eth0:0 You might want to get rid of your "TYPE" entry on the alias interface as well as the IPV6INIT and USERCTL. They get inherited from the parent interface. I'd start your alias interface at eth0:0 too. Let us know if that helps.
