Or, you could always assign your primary NIC to another IP/subnet if you do not want to add an alias which would be as easy as: ifconfig em0 inet 192.16.1.21/24 to set it back (assuming you use DHCP): sudo dhclient em0 FYI, your network interface may not be em0 and you may not be using Ubuntu or Debian, and the device may not be on a /24 subnet (you never let us know).
