You can use an alias for your ethernet to access another address. You
can use something like:
ifconfig eth0:1 add 10.30.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
You can delete that later if desired with 'ifconfig eth0:1 down'. Of
course, change the .0.0 at the end to an unoccupied address if
necessary, and change eth0 to whatever your card is called. Just type
'ifconfig' to see what your current configuration is. You can also
put the alias in /etc/network/interfaces for automatic configuration.
