Netra T1 105 and two ethernet ports

[Phillips, Paul]

I tried:

ifconfig hme1 ether 0a:00:20:c2:1c:c2 inet 192.168.1.95 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up

doing it all in one statement as Will suggested, and got back:
ifconfig: can't set link-level netmask or broadcast

Hmm,
Paul

Yes, you have to change the MAC in the same statement.
