I would call this as "Secondary IP address" on the Ethernet interface, instead of adding a route. Is there any way to do this task via GUI? In Redhat, it's very easy to find "Network Configuration" tool on the desk top. Probably I'm just overlooking it on GNOME desktop. Toshi On Fri, 2004-03-12 at 20:58, Anders Johansson wrote:

Suppose I have two LANs, one with fixed IP addresses in the 10.0.0.x range and the other with fixed IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x range, and want to merge them into a single network, i.e., all ethernet cards now connected to a single switch/hub. I assume there's a single call on the route command from one of the machines in the 10.0.0.x range that will make the 192.168.1.x computers visible, but there's no gateway needed or wanted as far as I can tell. What would that call on "route" be?
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
A corresponding entry will have to be added to the 192.168.1.x machines, otherwise they won't be able to reply
