Risky business

Never even tought that this would work…

Notez-bien: eth0 was manually configured.

rush:~# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:A7:0F:AB:43
          inet addr:192.168.92.7  Bcast:192.168.92.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:DC:DD:75:DE
          inet addr:192.168.92.3  Bcast:192.168.92.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
rush:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces
 -- change eth1's IP from DHCP to static .7
 -- create configuration for eth0 with DHCP
 -- make sure your DHCP server hands out the old address of eth1 to eth0
rush:/etc/network# ifdown eth1; ifconfig eth0 down; ifup eth0; ifup eth1;
