Hello,
We have 5 IP addresses with our server.
1 is the main address of our server,
2 IP's are bound to 2 sites,
1 is bound to IPMI, according to The Planet.
That's 4 of the 5 addresses used.
But WHM says "System has 0 free ips". We don't see the IP address show up in "Show IP Address Usage" in WHM or when we we run ifconfig.
Can someone please shine a light on this?
Thanks,
Ann (ServerNewbie)

Ann,
I've taken a quick look at your situation, and the IP you are referring to isn't in use and should be available. You can try adding the IP separately through WHM - IP Functions -> Add a new IP Address. Another suggestion would be to check your /etc/ips file through the command line. If an IP address isn't listed there, you can add it using the following format:
IP Address:Subnet Mask:Broadcast Address
Once it has been added, you can refresh the existing IPs using the following command:
CODE
/etc/init.d/ipaliases restart
Any IP addresses added to /etc/ips should then be visible.
If you need a hand with any of this, or things get any more complicated, feel free to open a ticket with our technical support department, or send me a PM with more information. Just let us know and we'll make sure you're squared away.
