binding multiple IP addresses on a single ethernet on Ubuntu 8.10

It is essential for us to configure a multiple IP addresses on my working PC as a web application developer , so , I done, see the following

Working Environment

• Ubuntu 8.10
• LAN : 192.168.1.1 - 224
• GateWay: 192.168.1.1
  

Todo

1 setting the Ip is static, then reboot the network

# sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

2 edit the interfaces config file

#sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

you will see the following

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

3 add the eth0:0 at the bottom of the file

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.118
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
auto eth0

iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.1.119
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
auto eth0:0

4 Saving it,then reboot the network again

#sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

5 testing our change

#ping 192.168.1.118

#ping 192.168.1.119
