Whatabout if I want to have DHCP plus a LAN alias? Works just fine under unix, but the config dialog with windows doesn’t allow adding addresses if dhcp is in use.

I think thats not possible, as you said windows doesn’t allow adding addresses if dhcp is in use. Might be works by adding other virtual adapter such vmware virtual adapter but I’ve not try that :-)

@Sharp

It’s been a long time, but for anyone else who cares, you can specify hostnames IP addr mappings using your host file.
