NM has changed significantly since 2005. I recommend deleting this 
bookmark from your browser.

You can easily add a second IP from within the NM applet found in your 
system tray. Edit the "System eth0" connection or wireless connection 
and on the IPv4 page add another IP. Alternatively you can setup a brand 
new connection just for this purpose.

No need to bust out the terminal.
