I have a server running FEDORA Core2 with one NIC but several virtual
IP'S

So eth0 is 192.168.1.x
eth0:1 192.168.1.xx
eth0:2 192.168.1.xxx

If I reboot my system and it comes backup the only active interface is
eth0:2

My question is WHY!!!????

Is this a bug?

My primary interface is on eth0 not eth0:2 this is a VIntf

I am a little past newbie, but can somebody explain how to correctly
configure a NIC with virtual interfaces and what is the purpose behind
the "profile" box.

This is really annoying to have to each time enable the interface that
goes to "inactive" status after a reboot.

Or should I not even use the GUI based tool to configure the NIC and
just use the nedit to modiy the config files responsible for these
settings?

Thanks for reading..
