regarding connection of system to two N/Ws 1

[alti]

can i assign two ips to the same n/w card so that the system can be connected to two different n/ws (sco on intel). if i can how?, or should i use two n/w cards? can somebody throw light into this, its very urgent.

The easiest way to do this is to use 2 nics. You can't assign 2 ips to one card.

Before saying that it can't be done, check the man pages on the ifconfig command... I know this is SCO.... but in AIX, you CAN configure multiple addresses to ONE NIC. So... check the man pages and check for the alias function to see if SCO will allow you to do this also.

Please tell us what you find.

Have Fun!

alti,

You can, and we do. As Chuck said, check the man page for ifconfig. From memory it's as simple as:

[tt] ifconfig <interface> alias <ip_address>[/tt]
