Ip Alias

[SirDice]

You don't need to use VLANs to "appear" to be on 2 networks.. Adding another IP address and subnet mask will do..

Network Connections -> Properties of the "Local Area Connection" -> Properties of "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" -> Alternate Configuration.

Still leaves the question though, "Why?"

Um assigning an address under "alternate configuration" doesn't allow you to have 2 ip addresses assigned to the same interface. However you can add a secondary IP to a XP box under the Advanced TCP/IP settings tab. However, we need a better understanding of what you hope to accomplish.

I tried to add another IP but it tell that there is conflict with another system in the network. But there is only 2 pc in the network. However i changed the ip and subnet mask but the result was the same ... ?!
