IP aliasing on loopback ( Slink )

[M.K.Pai]

Guys,

Please help me. I am trying to do IP aliasing on loopback, i,e create
lo:0, lo:1 etc.

The steps outlined in IP Aliasing mini-howto don't seem to work for me.

Step 1 : I do
        /sbin/ifconfig lo:0 192.168.0.1
        Now 192.168.0.1 appears as lo:0 in ifconfig

Step 2 : Then I do 
        route add -net 192.168.0.0 dev lo
                OR
        route add -net 192.168.0.0 dev lo:0
        No problems reported on stderr in either case

Step 3 : Then I do either
        route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev lo
                OR
        route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev lo:1
        Still no problems on command line

Step 4 : Then I add 
        route add default gw 192.168.0.1
        Still no problems reported

Step 5 : Lastly 
        ping 192.168.0.1
        
        Ping starts up and send packets but recieves NONE back !

    What am I doing wrong ? 

Oh, I forgot to mention, I am using Slink. 

Thanks in advance.
