Looking at various things & find that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1 is not only different, being a virtual device, but ~very~ different from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Will anyone with more than one network via a single nic (Horror) post their ifcfg-eth0:1 for comparison reasons. Here are mine: ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE="eth0" ONBOOT="yes" BOOTPROTO="none" IPADDR="63.249.19.72" GATEWAY=63.249.19.1 IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no" IPXACTIVE_802_2="no" IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no" IPXACTIVE_802_3="no" IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no" IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no" IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no" IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no" TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no NETMASK="255.255.255.0" IPXNETNUM_802_2="" IPXNETNUM_802_3="" IPXNETNUM_ETHERII="" IPXNETNUM_SNAP="" ifcfg-eth0:1: IPADDR="10.0.0.0-24" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" GATEWAY=63.249.19.1 TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none DEVICE=eth0:0 USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no Meph -- Ignore previous fortune.
