Sorry, but Peter's right - you Just Don't Get It.

Ross offers some advice: 1) You can have an interface with multiple IP addresses on the same network, provided they all look the same when the netmask is applied. That's great... I think -- or, probably would think, if I were a network engineer or something such, so I cared deeply about such issues. But what in the world gave you the impression that I do? 2) You cannot have the same interface on two physically different networks. Each connection to a separate physical network needs a separate physical interface. See below. Oh, that must be why all the other consultants are toting around laptops with thirty-eight network cards in them -- one for each LAN they ever attach to! No, hold on, wait a minute... Hey, guess what -- they don't! 3) The proper solution to your issue is to install a second NIC and attach that to the other network. Yeah, right... Maybe if I wanted to attach to several different networks at the same time -- but where did I ever say I wanted to do that? (And are you going to pull a network cable from my home to wherever I go to work each morning, so I can be on my home network while I'm at the office...?) About 2) - let's say you're on one physical network configured as 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0, but for some perverse reason you set up two computers on this physical network with 192.168.2.0 addresses. [...] imaginary 192.168.1.0 network, we could set up various machines with varying masks 255.255.255.X - [...] This divides the segment into address ranges 192.168.1.1-127 and 192.168.1.128-255. [...] En ymmärä tuosta juuri mitään, mutta se ei haita, kun ei oikein koske minun tilannettani. Mahtasitko tietää että tuo kaikki oli minulle yhtä hepreaa? Luultavasti et, kun aina vain oletat olevasi oikeassa, vaikka puhuisit jostain ihan muuta kun kaikki muut keskustelussa osallistuvat. There, that was probably just as enlightening to you as your gobbledygook was to me... Thanks, Ross, but no thanks.

Oh, that must be why all the other consultants are toting around laptops with thirty-eight network cards in them -- one for each LAN they ever attach to! No, hold on, wait a minute... Hey, guess what -- they don't! I would not do what is being suggested here, and I doubt that any of the consultants you see wandering around do it. Any client with enough infrastructure to need a consultant will have a DHCP server that sets all that stuff up on the fly. It's the very same principle as dialing up to the Internet over the phone lines. You tell the network "I'm here" and it gives you an IP address, a network to live on, and a gateway to the rest of the world. I was at IBM - people had several machines, laptops, labs, etc. Issues like this never arose as people went from room to room to experimental setup to lab to conference etc. It is so easy to configure a DHCP server that any network with more than say 8 nodes should use it. If you ever had a real need to reconfigure your personal network settings from the ground up, then that is the responsibility of the client in any case. -drl

If each port is labelled with an ip address and mask the task is fairly simple. DHCP has its uses in dialup and net on demand but static tables also work quite well. From a secure standpoint I would hesitate to see conslutants dragginf their own boxen in and leaving with the contents daily.
