On both nodes?

Hmm, from a quick reading of /etc/ha.d/resource.d/IPaddr I understand, 
that it tries to set up an _alias_ IP, and the main interface/IP must be 
up as precondition.

Just to exclude problems in your network try it manually like this:

xp2400:# ifconfig eth0 201.225.35.18
xp2400:# ifconfig eth0:0 201.225.35.19
xp2400:# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:BD:6B:D6:8F
           inet addr:201.225.35.18  Bcast:201.225.35.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           [...]
eth0:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:BD:6B:D6:8F
           inet addr:201.225.35.19  Bcast:201.225.35.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           [...]

Then configure some IP on eth0 permanently. Something like "ifconfig 
eth0:0 201.225.35.19" (setup an alias) will _not_ work, if eth0 is not up.
