Thanks for the quick replies.
I should have included some more details. I am setting a new IP address and
netmask to le1( the second ethernet port).
Jeremy, I changed the ipaddress in the host file, and I did add a line in
/etc/netmasks <tab>ipaddress<255.255.255.192>, but when the box boots up,
ifconfig -a indicates that le1 reverts back to netmask 255.255.0.0 (with
the new IP address).
I do not want to change the le0 settings.
-Regards, Brian Bates.

Brian,
The /etc/netmasks file is used to permanently set a netmask to an IP
address. It is best to use the mechanisms provide by the operating
system.
It looks like you trying to set a netmask for nodebus interface (le0) on
a 51A or 51B machine. Why do you want to do this? IA, by default
expects a class B netmask (255.255.0.0).

Hi list.
I want to change the netmask on le0 to 255.255.255.192 permanently on an
AW51. If I use ifconfig, it reverts back to 255.255.0.0 next reboot.
Their must be a better way than to make a startup scrip. Any ideas?
-Thanks in advance, Brian Bates.
