    I would assume that he means he is using 192.168.0.6 with a netmask of
    255.255.255.0 (/24) ...

    There is no problem having multiple nics/ip addresses on the same linux
    machine.. the kernel most certainly will NOT be confused assuming you
    configure everything properly (no duplicate IP addresses, etc) . Find out
    what errors he was getting, as it doesnt seem to be the problem (at least
    not the Direct problem...)
