Hi, if lan0 is your card then to add a second ip

ifconfig lan0:1 "ipaddress" netmask "netmask"

and a third:

ifconfig lan0:2 "ipaddress" netmask "netmask"

and so on. Replace lan0 whith whatever your card is. Hope this helps.

I not remember a limit of IP for one Network Card.

Hi, I agree with Vincenzo. There is no hard number. It is a question of manageability and why you would want to have a large number of addresses per card. Hope this helps.
