Dear Ray,
Please assure me that:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 xx.xx.xx.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 http://255.255.255.0/
Is this the valid netmask " 255.255.255.0 http://255.255.255.0" for static IP address for this machine you mentioned????
it will be "ifconfig eth0:0 xxxxx netmask 255.255.255.255 http://255.255.255.255 "
