IP Aliasing in the 2.4.x Kernel

I've read severl HOWTOs and found a thread from November regarding this here, but I still can't get it to work on this machine. I have all the IP addresses setup, but for some reason they cannot be seen by the outside world. I can ping them from within the linux machine, but not from any other machines. I've tried disabling the firewall, but still had the same problem.

I have the IP addresses aliased as eth0:0, eth0:1, eth0:2 and eth0:3. I can see them when I do an ifconfig, but they aren't the same as the eth0 entry.

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1F:E4:90
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:20450 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:14433 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
collisions:3 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdc80

eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1F:E4:90
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdc80

eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1F:E4:90
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdc80

eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1F:E4:90
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdc80

eth0:3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1F:E4:90
inet addr:x.x.x.x Bcast:x.x.x.x Mask:x.x.x.x
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xdc80

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:179 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:179 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

The aliased IPs doesn't have the RX and TX packets section of the eth0 entry. I'm not sure why it doesn't come up, but everything that I've read shows that the aliased IPs should have that information as well.

Does anyone have any info on a way I could possible fix this? Or at least let me know what I might be doing wrong? 🙂

Thanks,
David
