multiple IPs on same NIC

> Greetings group,

via dhcp by my provider, but the second IP I want to use would be for my

something here? Is this possible to do with one NIC? TIA...


Should just be:

ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias

Unless things have changed since I last did this (2.0.38).
