you can set it up permanently using linuxconf (install linuxconf then run "netconf" in a terminal.)
It can be used to setup static routes as well... one tip though, when you finish, its gonna want to change stuff (permissions and stuff) over to what it thinks they should be. tell it to "do nothing" you will not lose your changes. I prefer to just add them to /etc/sysconf/network-scripts like you said. works great. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alexander Volovics Sent: Sunday, 1 December 2002 11:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] IP alias. How? Hello, I am trying to attach a second IP adress to my pcmcia network card in mandrake-9.0 which uses dhcp to connect to a router. It seems to be impossible to do this via the graphical interfaces: Mandrake Control Center -> Network & internet -> Connection (-> Expert Mode). If I use 'ifconfig' and 'route add' I have a temporary solution lasting till I logout. Where can I configure it to make it permanent. (I am still getting accustomed to the entries under /etc, slightly different than I am used to). Can I add a 'ifcfg-eth0:1' in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ? I have not been able to find any reference to 'IP aliasing' in the Mandrake documentation. Strange! Alexander -- *The United States must fully disclose and destroy it's Weapons of Mass Destruction*
