I've run into similar situations with RedHat systems. There the IP would still show up with ifconfig -a and could be reached from localhost ... I couldn't reach it remotely mind you. I always make sure that I have iproute2 installed for situations like this, it seems much more capable than ifconfig when you run into problems: ip addr del 192.168.197.179 dev eth0:1 -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Starnix Inc.
