I tried this on a Debian system once and I had the same problem. From what I can tell it doesn't like the virtual interfaces when it runs its network script. On mine, I just hacked the network script to add ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.254 when it gets restarted. Then I can ifdown and ifup all I want to. -Brian > > I am having some problems with an alias configuration on the primary > interface of another box I am looking after (I did not build it).
