Hi
I want to have 2 active local networks. After following the guide on this page http://www.sonoracomm.com/support/18-support/128-sme-alias-ip i still can not ssh to it on the new ip. The ip is on a different range. Any ideas please.

Why?

I have 2 split 2 networks from eachother and still use SME for email. So far putting on a more configurable OS seems to be the best way out. I however did not build the SME box and would have liked to keep it. So far it just seems a bit limited if adding an ip to an interface is such a problem. Both proxy and pop service does not answer on the newly created ip.

read the manual, in particular here (http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter11#Local_networks)
this should do the trick

That i have tried already. The UI tells me that there is a problem:
Operation status report
Error: router address is not accessible from local network. Did not add network.

You haven't said how split from each other the networks need to be - or why. Setting up an additional local network (which requires you to have a router) will create two networks which are broadcast isolated from each other, but both networks will have equal access to all SME server services.

Error: router address is not accessible from local network.
This means exactly what it says. The router must be part of the local network. It is the node on your network by which packets will reach the new network you are adding - i.e. the gateway to that network.
You do have a router, don't you?

On a windows box you can specify more than 2 ip's on one interface and still have things like IIS bind to any of those ip's or all as needed. It does not even have to be the server addition

SME is not windows..
IIRC on windows you need as add on, exchange, mysql/sqlserver, an AV, and more to get what on SME is out of the box. :-)
Charlie asked you a question, please answer

P.S. the reason why adding an alias doen't work on SME is because none of the daemons is listening on the added IP..
so, if you really need such a feature, you could rewrite all involved fragments or pay someone to do it.

Then by your post it seems that this thread is closed but unresolved.
Assuming that people understand what you ask them is perhaps stupid. Assuming when someone asks advise that he has no knowledge of the subject is also stupid. Your "P.S." remark was actually the answer I was looking for.
Thank you for your time.

it's not closed but yes, still unresolved..

I can't see your answer to this question..

SME is not designed to do what you are asking for the way you are trying to do.. so you have 3 possibilities:
1) do "the SME way"
2) modify SME to add such a feature -> code yourself or pay someone to do it for you (or better, find someone that does it for free)
3) change distribution
even SME is linux, it's a strange beast, because almost all its conf files are templated.. and the integration level between services is very high.. so you can use it as you would use another distro.. that's all
