G'day Leslie,
This is called IP aliasing - see the IP aliasing mini-HOWTO

All the best!

I'm trying to transfer a large file from computer A to computer B
using a null modem cable. The file is a compressed file which, when
transferred, will allow me to install on computer B the distribution
called Delilinux. I have no other way of getting the file onto
computer B than via the cable.
Preparatory to such a transfer, I've run a couple of installation
floppy disks on computer B. They're supposed, among other things, to
install pppd on computer B. In order to make it easy to transfer the
file using pppd, you're prompted to do certain things after the
installation on computer B of pppd.
One is obviously to run pppd on computer A. However, computer B tells
you, in effect, that computer A must have the address 192.168.0.1.
I've run on computer A the command I'm told to, but no connection
between the two computers is created.
Computer A is behind a modem/router and already has the address 10.1.1.1.
Is that likely to be the reason why no connection is created?
If so, is there a way to give 10.1.1.1 the alias of 192.168.0.2?
If not, it seems that computer B has on it Telnet. Can I use that to
transfer the file instead?
Thanks for reading this,
Leslie
