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.
Yeah, he suggested that.

If you want this to just be temporary, you could (as root):
ifconfig <name-of-network-device> 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
Hmm, I had thought it was you. [Digs back through the thread...] Aha, yes Rick
also suggested the direct approach.
Rick, I apologise.
I think my point becomes that all these things involving config files or
special tools like Network Mangler are (a) overkill for a small problem, (b)
indirect, not making very clear what underlying change is necessary and (c)
won't work on other platforms (i.e. non RH, Centos, Fedora).
Whereas the ifconfig is: simple, immediate, says exactly what is going on and
nothing else and will also work on any other Linux box and with only the most
trivial of changes, any other UNIX system.
