multiple ip on debian

[DJSADERS]

Hi,

no matter what i try i cant get my second ip to work on debian etch

my interfaces file is below...

# The loopback network interfaces
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 78.86.194.110
netmask 255.255.240.0
network 78.86.192.0
broadcast 78.86.207.255
gateway 78.86.192.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 87.194.0.51 87.194.0.52
dns-search zone2.bethere.co.uk

any help would be greatly appreciated

maybe you ask in a debian forum?

i figured that as ispcp supports multiple ip's someone on here would have successfully done it

[joximu]

yes - that's correct.
You need to tell the operating system to use/add the new IPs.

Then you can add the ip in ispcp so it can be used for some domains/resellers..

thats the problem i cant get the os to accept the new ip

I only see one IP listed in your /etc/network/interfaces file.

Is this an issue adding the IP to the Operating System or to ISPCP?

I have a feeling its an issue adding the IP to the Operating System?

You would need something like:

# The loopback network interfaces
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 78.86.194.110
netmask 255.255.240.0
network 78.86.192.0
broadcast 78.86.207.255
gateway 78.86.192.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 87.194.0.51 87.194.0.52
dns-search zone2.bethere.co.uk

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 78.86.194.111
netmask 255.255.240.0
network 78.86.192.0
broadcast 78.86.207.255

I've put the changes in red.

Come on Joximu, I know people should really search around first but its only a interfaces file.

DJSaders, are you fairly new to Linux? If so please make sure your not hosting the box on your LAN as the box may become comprimised.
