Hi - Don't think you can assign two IP to the same card at the same time. You can get one, use, change to other, use (may need to boot between changes). If you want two IP on 1 system at the same time you need to NIC cards.

Might indicate exactly what you are trying to do rather than a specific solution (such as ... need access to 2 different networks at same time ... or two different ISP one at a time) will help those that are more knowledgable than me about networks assist you in resolving the problem.

I've done this before when we've needed to log on to two different networks (not at the same time) that have different i.p. classes.
It was on a laptop that we use to access the network on two different sites of ours.
All you do is add a new tcp/ip protocol in the network properties.
This is the way I did it and it automatically detected the correct i.p to use when on each network.
Hope this helps.
Ben
