I've been wrestling with this and I'm really stuck. Under 8.04 I had this /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0 eth0:1
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.166.8.211
netmask 255.0.0.0
gateway 10.166.8.209
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.2.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
The purpose of this is to be able to watch the TV streams from my ADSL in my PC (network 10.x.x.x) while at the same time being able to keep my local network (network 192.168.x.x) TV is delivered via UDP data streams from the 10.x.x.x network.
Under 8.04 I had to remove kde-network-manager for this to work but it worked. It even allowed me to watch a different TV "channel" (they are really UPD streams) than the one that was being watched in the TV.
Now under 9.04, after booting I'm only able to watch on my PC the very same TV channel that is being watched on the TV. But ifconfig reports both eth0 and eth0:1 as usual without any indication of a problem What is even more strange, if I do from the console
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
[sudo] password for xxxxx ......
* Reconfiguring network interfaces...
RTNETLINK answers: No such process
Then I'm able to wathc in the PC a different TV channel (read UDP://@ip adddressort) than the one the decoder is displaying!! What's puzzling is that I don't understand the message (I'm no networking expert) but what I'm doing is essentially what is done at boot time, except of course stopping the network. Yet it works even declaring that there is an error! This is very frustrating to diagnose since I have to reboot the machine to reproduce it.
Any ideas?
