comp.os.linux.networking

I'll put this info in my backpack for future. As I have never run into this
before, I've never had to specify packet size. Good to know that this
could cause the same type of problem.

As you'll see from my reply to Nicolas, this problem got fixed by specifying
the netmask for the alias (something that I didn't think I had to do --
supposed to default to that of the interface it's attached to).

Educational day.

Thanks for the input.
