RedHat 7.2 -> Freebsd - BIG PROBLEN

[bivol at vip.bg]

Hi,
Actually this box has ONLY one ip, no aliases.
This line:
> > /sbin/route add -net 192.168.17.0/24 eth0
Could be igonred.

I do not need them. I just need my primary IP to be with such mask..However 
I'll try to configure virtual interface. And forward the traffic through it.
