In order to be able to login into the system from the network again
we have to issue the following commands from the
system console:
> #ifconfig nr0 remove
> #ifconfig nr0 (check if the 2 interfaces exists)
> #ifconfig nr0 add alt0,alt1
> #ifconfig nr0
> #nr0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
> NetRAIN Attached Interfaces: ( alt0 alt1 ) Active Interface: ( alt0 )
