Can a single physical network adapter be configured to have more than one IP
address on XP Pro?

You can have an "alternate" IP address that will be used instead of
APIPA if there is no response from a DHCP server within the time-out

Sure you can but only one will be used at a time.

Find the connection you are interested under network connections. Right
click and select properties.

On the General tab highlite Internet Protocal (TCP/IP).

Click Properties.

Now click the Alternate Configuration Tab. Enter the information for your
second address.

All of the addresses must be static.  Assign the first one in the
network connection's TCP/IP properties.  Then, click the Advanced tab
and add the other ones.

The Alternate Configuration tab doesn't let you assign more than one
IP address.  It lets you assign a static IP address to be used if:

1. The connection is configured to obtain an IP address automatically,
and:

2. It can't communicate with a DHCP server to obtain an IP address.
