I did that and it works, but I want to do it automatically from start up, I
remember in the old days you put it in a script in rc.local. However I
thought that in the new 6.1 stuff you make a copy of ifcfg-eth0 change the
ip address (and name the file ipcfg-eth0:0)and that it should be brought up
by the scripts in network-scripts. This is all in
/etc/sysconfig/netwrok-scripts/. Any ideas on this? I saw this documented
somewhere but for the life of me can't get it to work.
thanks

Subject: Re: [ale] IP Aliasing on Mandrake 6.1
DUH! Ignore my previous ERRONEOUS response.
I get the same error as you if I try to assign the same IP address to eth0:0
as I did to eth0
Assuming eth0 is 192.168.100.10, the following should work...
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.100.9 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0:0 up

I am trying to get this working. I get an error message 'cannot assign
requested adress'. I made a copy of ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0:0, and then try
start it with ifconfig eth0:0 up and get that error. I think that Mandrake
compiles IP aliasing support into the kernel, but am not sure (how would you
find out?). Does anyone have any suggestions for doing IP aliasing on
Mandrake 6.1?
By the way my two IP addresses are 198.168.100.10 for eth0 and 198.168.100.9
for eth0:0
