Hi I amgoing to have SDSL connected to my private network (192.168.0.x) I have 3com (3905b Net card). I would like to connect the SDSL to my local ethernet HUb. I will be assigned a fixe IP to comunicate with the world.
I compiled the kernel to support IP aliasing so that I could use the same ethernet card for the local network and the Global network having different IP for each network. But when I type ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 I get the following error SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device SIOCSIFNETMASK: Operation not supported by device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Operation not supported by device SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported by device When I type ifconfig eth0:0 I get eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:26:04:F1 unspec addr:[NONE SET] Bcast:[NONE SET] Mask:[NONE SET] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa800 this tels me that the card is recognized.
