This error comes when you try to setup 2 IP address for single (1) network card. All you need to do is use diffrent netmask to avoid this error. For example if your NIC card netmaks is 255.255.255.0 then use 255.255.255.255 as netmask for alias
Real lnc0 - IP : 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 lnc0 alias - IP : 192.168.1.115/255.255.255.255 And then type command Code:
ifconfig lnc0 192.168.1.115 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias Code:
ifconfig -a ping 192.168.1.115 ping 192.168.1.2
