Hi Jason, I too have the same problem...please confirm that I need to replace the IPADDR and GATEWAY with the corresponding IP addresses or not (means I need to replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with respective alias IP or not). I know it sounds silly, but I can't take a chance of rebooting the machine as my configuration are UP at this point of time. Please verify thesame for me. DEVICE=eth0:1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETMASK=255.255.254.0 GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00 Regards Opesh Alkara --- Jason Williard <jason@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > That worked.
