The real solution here is to use ip aliases. If you have the debian kernel image installed (and are not using a custom one) it is sufficient to use the ip_alias module
Let's assume a free IP adresss on your friend's subnet is 1.0.2.3 with netmask 255.255.255.0 then the following will do what you want: # modprobe ip_alias # ifconfig eth0:0 1.0.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.0.2.255 # route add -net 1.0.2.0 There is no need to do something on the other side.
