In this questionthis question, the asker is asking how to assign 2 IP addresses to their computer using DHCP. However, they clarified their question, and the reason they want to do this is to bypass an IP-based download limit; unfortunately, the answer to their question won't solve their actual problem (if they did get 2 local IP addresses, it wouldn't bypass the download limit, because of NAT). I was going to explain it in a comment, but the comment would have been right up against the length limit, so I figured that it may not belong there. What should I do?
