Going back on Joe's answer about using ifup eth0:0, I get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ifup eth0:0
/sbin/ifup: configuration for eth0:0 not found.
Usage: ifup <device name>
If just doing an ifup eth0 I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ifup eth0

From what I can tell by running ifconfig I'm using eth0. The reason for this
goat screw is that EL is telling me that suddenly my IP given to me by
Sprint is being blocked from accessing Earthlink support newsgroups. I
thought that if I managed to change it it may fix the problem, however,
from what I see I'm doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
the eth0:0 was my wise a$$ answer about getting a different IP, if you
already had an ip (a second IP number for the same interface card and
cable connetion)
Since your IP is given out upstream (your ISPs server) and it will be
looking at physical addresses such as the mac address of the router or
network card, for what you are hoping to do, we may need more
information, such as do you have a fixed IP that you purchase or is it
in a dynamic IP range that never changes for you? do you have a router
between your computer and cable modem (or how exactly do you connect to
the internet).
