:I need to:
: Access anything on a 1.x.x.x network.
: Access a couple of addresses with 194.x.y.z addresses.
:
:I need to be accessible by both networks.

Read ifconfig(8)

% ifconfig @@@ inet 1.x.x.x netmask 0xff000000
% ifconfig @@@ inet 194.x.y.z netmask 0xff000000

1) Change IP addresses and netmasks appropriately.  
2) Change @@@ to your ethernet interface name ("ifconfig -a" will tell you)

If you use standard /etc/rc* files, then you could do
% echo >/etc/ifconfig.@@@ "inet 1.x.x.x netmask 0xff000000"
% echo >/etc/ifaliases "194.x.y.z @@@ 0xff000000"

:I only have one ethernet interface... I think this is what is causing my
:problem, since I can only see how to set up one network on the device.
:I wish I'd done the networking course that my colleague just went on!
:Any help will be most appreciated.
