Hi can anybody clue me in here....? (reposting as it seemed to have not got posted)

Imagine a machine with some real network cards (more than one), and fake (aliased) ip addresses, all work but having setup this I want to change the default x server's ip and use another instead

It sounds like you're trying to specify network behaviour at the application level. An X server runs on a host and is contacted via a port on a host. It's up to the network software to decide how to route packets between it and a client. What are you trying to do that you think needs you to specify an interface for the X server? And why don't you think you can do that in the networking subsystem? Cheers, Dave
