the correct subnet mask is the following...

eth0 --> 192.168.1.254 / 255.255.255.0
eth1 -->= 82.186.92.90 / 255.255.255.248
eth1:1 --> 82.186.92.91 / 255.255.2= 55.248
eth1:2 --> 82.186.92.92 / 255.255.255.248
eth1:3 --> 8= 2.186.92.93 / 255.255.255.248
eth1:4 --> 82.186.92.93 / 255.255.255= .248

These combinations of address/netmask make no sense= to me.

The netmask 255.255.255.254 defines a 2-host subnet (basically, a
point-to-point link, although those are n= ormally specified using a full
32-bit all-1's netmask). Therefore if = you have 82.186.92.90 on an interface
with a 255.255.255.254 netmask,= the only machine it will be capable of
talking to at the other end o= f the cable is 82.186.92.91.

Putting that address (.91), as well a= s several others which fall in different
address ranges, onto the sam= e phyical interface makes no sense to me.

Antony.<= BR>
