Re: [WinMac] 2 IP addresses on Mac

Hello Michael,
You can allow a mac to use multiple ips under a DHCP (dynamic host
configuration protocol) server. DHCP is an extension of BOOTP and is
described in rfc 1541.
DCHP will allocate ips in subnets dynamically, but will record a permanent
ip in each subnet that a machine uses. So each machine need only connect to
a network and a correct ip for the subnet will be automatically allocated
without any need for the machine to record multiple addresses.
Also, does anybody remember the old MacTCP Switcher that used to do exactly
what Michael wants? I wonder if it's ever been upgraded to work with OT.

Michael Kulyk:
My client has 3 G3's and one 8600 all running OS 8.1 on a 100 BASE T
network attached to an NT 4sp3 server.
They use TCP/IP to attach to the server via DAVE.
They all have their own modems to dial the internet.
When the want to dial the internet they have to select another IP
configuration from the TCP/IP control panel. They find this too
cumbersome.
I was wondering if there was a simple inexpensive way to simplify this.
i.e. 2 active IP addresses on the Mac at the same time.
