Every IP address that you want your machine to answer for must be
correctly established on that interface.  Type "ifconfig en0" to
report all IP addresses bound to your Ethernet port.

No no no... re-read what Jakob posted...

At the top of System Preferences -> Network, there are two
pull-down menus: Location and Show.  Go to the second one.
Show -> Network Port Configurations.  From there, select
"Built-in Ethernet" and click on the "Duplicate" button.
