Rick gave a reasonable response. Could have been improved to not
interfere with regular network access, but I thought it was good enough.
Rick gave a nightmarishly complex answer, as did several others. It might work,
but I'm not sure I'd call it reasonable. Bob only needed a temporary config, so
the reasonable thing to do is to add an "eth0:0" with the right addressing as
already suggested using the "ifconfig" or "ip" commands. It is
_direct_! All
this other guff that hacks with the OS config is just nuts.
