As with the other file, it should have 1 line, and that line should be the name of the interface. So, in this case, coricopat1 2) Then, make sure that coricopat1 is in the /etc/hosts file with the correct IP address. 3) either reboot, or "ifconfig hme0:1 up". reboot is probably better, but if you don't want to deal with certain issues around a reboot (do you have to enter a pass phrase to bring up the secure apache server? (stronghold has some requirements along those lines)), then just the ifconfig _should_ work. ======= The ifconfig command is found in /sbin. Its syntax requires the IP address, so it should be: ifconfig hme0:1 128.114.129.72 up ifconfig hme0:1 128.114.129.72 down - Jacques
