SUMMARY:Multiple IP addresses- 1 interface and default router

Hi List,

Thanks to everyone who replied. There are far too many to mention......

My interface is working properly and was within two hours of my message.
However, I sent the message
on Friday afternoon and it didn't appear in my inbox (nor did I receive any
responses) until last night....
Rather strange.

What I was doing wrong as so many people pointed out was leaving the 'up'
off the end of my ifconfig
command. Once I did that, my workstation (a DNS server) started working
under both IPs.

Thanks

Original post:


Quick one, I hope. I  need to assign a second IP address to my hme0
interface. I also need to
add a default router to correspond with that IP..... I can do an ifconfig
hme0:1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
but I can't get that IP to answer a ping.... Any input would be
helpful.....

Thanks,
