How can I get rid of eth0:1?

Question

I issued the command ifconfig then it gave me 3 entries. The first one is eth0 the second one is eth0:1 and lo.

Both eth0 and eth0:1 gave unique IP addresses, however I want to get rid of eth0:1. How do you think it can possibly be done?

Thanks in advance guys

Please add to your question the output from ifconfig and cat /etc/network/interfaces — David Purdue, Sep 19 '13 at 06:21

The quick way to get rid of eth0:1 is to enter:

sudo ifconfig eth0:1 down

(If you are logged in via the IP address associated with eth0:1, your connection will drop at that point and you will have to log in again.)

eth0:1 may come back after a reboot. Check /etc/network/interfaces to see if it defined in there.
