can't assign requested address nn7j

[Didier WIROTH]

Hi,
Do you mean the subnet mask of your alias is 255.255.255.248 ?
Your rc.conf should look like this:
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet x.y.z.y netmask 255.255.255.255"
and not
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet x.y.z.y netmask 255.255.255.248"

Is that correct?

Didier

Hm...First of all, where are you trying to SSH from?  If you're able to SSH
from *another* box, that's a good sign.  And as for pinging, where are you
trying to ping from -- the box with de2, or another box entirely?
Also, can you show the output of "ifconfig de2"?

Thanks,
Hugh
