I don't even know if it's possible to bind 2 ip addresses to one network card. Perhaps you meant if each computer has 2 NICs? Even better, one computer can be configured to as a temporary router/internet connection system. Just pop in a cheap nic in addition to the one already pulling an ip address from the ISP and assign a private address to the other nic. Better instructions can be found at www.practicallynetworked.com. The easiest, best overall solution is to buy a router and link your switch to the router's lan port. The linksys brand is fairly cheap, but highly reliable in use, IMO.

you can bind multiple IPs to one physical device, it is just a matter of making the driver answer ARP on more than one IP. A router is an easier solution, I just tried to give an alternative to existing setup. This is a free private network setup and there are scenarios that multiple IPs on single NIC can be useful, especially on linux where the firewall rules can be quite creative.

Router
Thank you all!
I think I'll go with the router solution since I don't have to fiddle with configuration files.

Windows XP firewall
I finally figured out to disable the Windows XP firewall entirely and I now get a 2 MB upload speed from Knoppix to Windows XP which is more acceptable than 128 Kbps!
My next question is how to configure Windows XP's firewall to accept Samba so I don't have to disable/enable the firewall in every upload session. What TCP/UDP ports are needed? This will probably also help me configure the Firestarter firewall.
Update: OK, I actually figured it out in 2 minutes
TCP is port 139 and UDP is port 137 but this presents me with a new problem. Now grc.com reports an open port in Windows XP. Grrrr... Time for a better firewall or a router.
