Since I'm working remotely now (Cornell is in the frozen north and I'm working from balmy Plano, TX), I put a 2nd stack on both of our systems so that I could bounce the primary stack and still have connectivity thru the other one.  Jim Alan Altmark wrote: On Tuesday, 04/14/2009 at 12:41

As Dave mentioned it's always good to have a second TCPIP stack for testing and emergency access. The only thing I wanted to add was that all ports can have multiple devices defined - up to 256 I think. For example you define a vswitch on one port using device address 0,1,2 you can define a second
