on 1.1.5.1, when doing an ifconfig ed0 140.174.2.174 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias it works. on 2.1 STABLE, it is broken in 2 ways: ifconfig complains, and it does not work, even though netstat likes it. note that sometimes I have seen it work for interfaces other than the first one, and even for the first one, for a very short time. Fix: no idea. rip out the multicast stuff and roll back to 1.1.5.1? nah. How-To-Repeat: ifconfig ed0 140.174.2.174 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias ping 140.174.2.174

It looks very much like what you're trying to do is the following: ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.a netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.b netmask 255.255.255.0 This is not a valid combination of interface addresses. What you must do is: ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.a netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig ed0 X.Y.Z.b netmask 255.255.255.255 and then it will work. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
