I am using Fedora 10 i386 and would like to configure is such that can be seen on the internet (public ip address) and also my local network can see it as a node (private ip address). I have only one NIC installed. I create a ifcfg-eth0:0 file for this setup Example ifcfg-eth0 file (Public IP address) Device=eth0 Bootproto=none Gateway=76.x.x.x HWaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IPaddr=76.x.x.x Netmask=255.255.x.x OnBoot=yes ifcfg-eth0:0 (Private IP address) Device=eth0:0 Bootproto=none Gateway=172.16.0.1 HWaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IPaddr=172.16.1.6 Netmask=255.255.255.0 OnBoot=yes This works fine until i have to reboot the computer. I can no longer view the computer from the internet or the intranet When I view the view the connection information (ifconfig) the inet address is showing the DHCP address of 172.16.1.33 Where/What am I doing wrong
