Hi

I've got a network where each computer is connected to my ISP via cable
modem. Because my neighborhood transfer rates are capped to about 50k I've
added additional IP addresses to each of my computers in the 192.168.1.x
range.

To simplify: each computer has 1 ethernet card, and 2 IP Addresses.

When I connect to netatlk through the chooser it connects to the external IP
(ie, the one assigned by my ISP) which makes things really slow (10-20
seconds to transfer 3k).

My question:
How do I make netatalk use my private IP as it's primary IP address in the
chooser rather than the one assigned by my ISP?

Thanks,
Brian
