I would assume that he means he is using 192.168.0.6 with a netmask of
255.255.255.0 (/24) ...

There is no problem having multiple nics/ip addresses on the same linux
machine..  the kernel most certainly will NOT be confused assuming you
configure everything properly (no duplicate IP addresses, etc)  .   Find out
what errors he was getting, as it doesnt seem to be the problem (at least
not the Direct problem...)
