Easy enough to do from the command line, as root: if your NAS is on 192.168.0.1, you can put your notebook at 192.168.0.100 with: ifconfig eth0:temp 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 Now your netbook would have 2 ip addresses, one under eth0 and one under eth0:temp To remove the eth0:temp would be: ifconfig eth0:temp down Doug -- Ben Franklin quote: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
