Rick gave a nightmarishly complex answer, as did several others. It might work, 
but I'm not sure I'd call it reasonable. Bob only needed a temporary config, so 
the reasonable thing to do is to add an "eth0:0" with the right addressing as 
already suggested using the "ifconfig" or "ip" commands. It is _direct_! All 
this other guff that hacks with the OS config is just nuts.
