According to netstat -nr the desktop's gateway is 192.168.0.1. I have
only half a dozen printers and a couple of computers and it has long
been my practice to put a label with its IP address on each device.
Hence, it was easy to see that 192.168.0.5 was free. So I did:

#ifconfig eth0 192,168,0,5 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default
gateway 192.168.0.1

And the result was:

route: Unknown host

I guess that's because it can't connect to the gateway because there is
no net connection.
