RE: Aliasing an IP address? [semi-OT]
The answer is simple
Use windows hardware profiles. They are there for exactly this reason. He
will get a menu at boot asking if he is at work or home.

Subject: Aliasing an IP address? [semi-OT]
Hello people,
Here's the thing: I have a small network at work (4 computers, each one
using a 10.0.0.x address). The Debian server is 10.0.0.1. There's a
notebook at 10.0.0.4.
However, the guy with the notebook already has a small network at home,
which he wouldn't like to change to suit the IP addresses of work. He also
doesn't like to always change the IP to 10.0.0.4 and wait for windows to
boot one more time before he can start actually working, so he'd like me
to, somehow, make his home network' IP address be recognized as local at
the debian box. Is there a easy way to do that? My idea was to just alias
his IP to the one he is supposed to use (10.0.0.4), so that the server
thinks that traffic is coming from that IP regardless of what IP is set on
his windoze box (even though it would be fixed). If you understand my
question and know the answer, please help. :-)
Thanks,
Carlos.
