Yes it can be done. More IP at one interface. I have a remote sites IP addres as second IP on my card. This way I can develop local a page with embeded IP's in code and test on my ownbox before upload to the real site. Very handy to test flash objects that are only allowed to get data from fixed IP. In ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:e0:18:f8:37:7e inet addr:192.168.1.33 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 ... eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:e0:18:f8:37:7e inet addr:10.0.0.128 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 ... eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:e0:18:f8:37:7e inet addr:212.16.xxx.xxx Bcast:212.16.xxx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 ... This an be done by: ifconfig eth0:0 xx.xx.xx.xx netmask yy.yy.yy.yy up where eth0 is your primary interface and eth0:0 is a virtual one > Instead of adding thousands lines of code to the interpreter, I think the > better is parsing the output of the ifconfig command. > > -- >Benoît Minisini ps Also on windows :) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/331275/multiple_ip_address_on_same_network_card_windows/ http://www.pc1news.com/how-to-bind-multiple-ip-address-to-a-single-network-card-796.html Best regards, Ron_1st -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
