 I need to configure a computer with 2 NICs one with an IP address and one
 without.  When I attempt to enable the NIC that will have no IP address I
 get an error message saying that there is no IP address assigned (or
 something along those lines).  Is there any way to accomplish this?
 
 TIA!

non-functional anyway. What are you trying to accomplish?

I wonder if he wants to setup a bridge...?  Other than possibly wanting to
use the non-protocol'ed i/f for a sniffer-only...
