VIP_Address

Hello to all,

I am trying to make a TCP connection with the VM that i have instantiated to WA platform. The issue that i have encountered is that the VM that uses a VIP ant *no* ethernet is bounded to it as the eth0 net is bounded to an internal IP address.

Is there a way to make ethernet using the VIP that WA gives me?
Output of the ifconfig is this

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:5d:34:b7:5d
          inet addr:10.78.30.35  Bcast:10.78.31.255  Mask:255.255.254.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::215:5dff:fe34:b75d/64 Scope:Link

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

For example an to make  *eth1* with inet addr:VirtualIPAaddress that Windows Azure gives me.
