Incorrect netmask in network configuration

Hi guys,

I had some problems with netmask of my additional IPs that was showing 255.255.255.0 instead of 255.255.255.255.
I fixed that and contacted my hosting provider support to confirm if everything was correct with the new IP configuration showing the log of the command "ifconfig":

Quote:

And they said this:

"Regarding the interface 'eth0:0', everything seems to be correct now. However, the interface 'eth0:cp1' IP broadcast is incorrect. As IP has a subnet mask '/32' the broadcast IP should be the IP itself (94.23.78.68)."
I tried to fix by running the command:
Code:
sed -i 's/94.23.78.255/94.23.78.68/g' /etc/ips; /etc/init.d/ipaliases restart
But I think that something is wrong.
Here goes the log:

I notice two things:

1- I don't have 'eth0:0' anymore,now I have a 'eth0:cp1' and 'eth0:cp2', it seems that was renamed. Is this ok?

2- It seems that eth0:cp1 is fine now:
inet addr:94.23.78.68 Bcast:94.23.78.68 Mask:255.255.255.255

But eth0:cp2 (old eth0:0 that was already fine) is not:
inet addr:178.32.52.69 Bcast:178.32.52.255 Mask:255.255.255.255


Any ideas? Can someone help me with these?

Thank you guys!
