For example: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address <a href="http://192.168.0.10" target="_blank">192.168.0.10</a> netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0" target="_blank">255.255.255.0</a> gateway <a href="http://192.168.0.1" target="_blank">192.168.0.1</a> auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet static address <a href="http://192.168.0.11" target="_blank">192.168.0.11</a> netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0" target="_blank">255.255.255.0</a> gateway <a href="http://192.168.0.1" target="_blank">192.168.0.1</a> auto eth0:2 iface eth0:1 inet static address <a href="http://192.168.0.12" target="_blank">192.168.0.12</a> netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0" target="_blank">255.255.255.0</a> gateway <a href="http://192.168.0.1" target="_blank">192.168.0.1</a> -- Regards, Clifford Ilkay Dinamis 1419-3266 Yonge St. Toronto, ON Canada M4N 3P6 <<a href="http://dinamis.com" target="_blank">http://dinamis.com</a>> +1 416-410-3326 -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
