Very Computer

I am running SCO System V/386 Release 3.2. Is it possible to assign an ip alias to the interface. I works under version 5.x with "ifconfig interface alias address". Is there a way to do it under 3.2.

Thanks.

3.2v5.0.0?  3.2v5.0.2?  3.2v5.0.4?  3.2v4.0?  3.2v4.2?

You really should be precise, it saves a lot of messages like this one.

I am also having problems with IP aliasing.
Running SCO 5.0.2
Current config is ip: 198.10.10.100,   mask: 255.255.255.0
Need to alias      ip:   10.244.78.80,     mask: 255.255.255.192

"ifconfig net0 alias 10.244.78.80 netmask 255.255.255.192"

"ifconfig -a"  shows
v v v v v      v v v v v      v v v v v      v v v v v      v v v v v      v
v v v v
net0: flags=4043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 198.10.10.100 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 198.10.255.255
perf. params: recv size: 24576; send size: 24576; full-size frames: 1
ether 00:60:97:d7:be:3e
(alias) inet 10.244.78.80 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.244.78.127
^ ^ ^ ^ ^      ^ ^ ^ ^ ^      ^ ^ ^ ^ ^      ^ ^ ^ ^ ^      ^ ^ ^ ^ ^      ^
^ ^ ^ ^

Problem: if I ping host 10.244.78.66 the ping packet shows the source host
ip
                 to be 198.10.10.100 instead of 10.244.78.80

  IP:  198.10.10.100  ->  10.244.78.66  ICMP:  echo_request
