I'm running ubuntu 9.04 and I have set up 2 ip aliases using the /etc/network/interfaces file
http://pastie.org/775037 -- when I ping the main address 10.0.2.16, all works fine, same with the first alias 10.0.2.22 -- but I can't reach the 2nd alias 10.0.2.23 I get the following from ping:
PING 10.0.2.23 (10.0.2.23): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
92 bytes from 10.5.0.1: Destination Host Unreachable

4 5 00 5400 06eb 0 0000 3f 01 5e81 10.5.0.34 10.0.2.23
My machine's IP address is 10.5.0.34
I can't figure out why I can ping 10.0.2.22 but not 10.0.2.23 -- seems like there is probably some kind of routing thing that I'm missing, but I'm confused how it would have gotten set up for 10.0.2.22 but not 10.0.2.23 -- hopefully someone out there has an idea -- or can point me to references where I might be able to learn how to debug routing issues on a network?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
