Hmm. I'm not familiar with /etc/sysconfig. Which distribution are you using? (I think I recall you mentioning RedHat, but I'm not sure.) I actually figured out that the 'static-route' file under /etc/sysconfig was not doing much. i.e., if it was, it should have added the routes, right? Anyway, the following works fine: /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 10.1.20.30 up Once you have that going, you just add the routes... /sbin/route add -host 208.7.154.207 gw 10.1.1.254 eth0:1 That makes my machine connect to 208.7.154.207 using its 10.1.20.30 IP and the 10.1.1.254 gateway. It works fine, and I can do what I want, which is use it from home to get articles... In order to get it to work at boot, I made a little script and I launch it from /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99local. Here it is for anyone interested: *********** #!/bin/csh # # First set up the additional IP address for eth0... # /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 10.1.20.30 up # # Now add the routes... # foreach IP ( 216.200.143.20 \
216.143.112.80 \
198.81.200.2 )/sbin/route add -host $IP gw 10.1.1.254 eth0:1 end *********** If more hosts are required, they are just added to the foreach loop... Thanks for all those who helped and gave suggestions, Guillermo +==================-------------- --- -- - - - - Guillermo Moyna, PhD Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry University of the Sciences in Philadelphia 600 South 43rd Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495 "The only existing things are atoms and empty space.
