D'oh!

[Tyler Aviss]

Here's a variation of what I used on my Deb box that should work fine
for Ubuntu, since I believe they have the same configuration format:
Edit this into /etc/network/interfaces..

#-----------

auto eth0
auto eth0:0

iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0:0 inet static
       address 192.168.0.225
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.0.0
       broadcast 192.168.0.255
