Loopback, does it help?? What about Linux?? protecweb 03-22-2007, 06:36 PM Can I configure windows 2003 to use multiple IPs?? Yes of course. Click "Advanced" > "Add" in the NICs TCP/IP properties. Is it necessary to have a separate ethernet connection for each IP?? No. See above. mtamimi 03-22-2007, 07:48 PM thnx for the hint. mtamimi 05-12-2007, 11:09 AM is it possible for the others to see my second IP instead of my primary one?? I want to seed a file from my server using the 2nd IP instead of the 1st one...is it possible?? if so, how can I do that?? thnx in advance, P.S. I have only 1 Ethernet port, and I do not have physical access to the server.. Planpro 05-12-2007, 11:18 AM If the file is downloaded from a website, then you bind the (sub)domain to that IP adress in IIS. (also works for FTP) mtamimi 05-12-2007, 11:24 AM no i am trying to seed a torrent file.... plumsauce 05-15-2007, 04:43 AM I don't know torrents at all, but, the torrent service needs to bind to the specific ip. If it is written like many apps, it will just open a connection and bind to 0.0.0.0, resulting in winsock using the primary ip as the source ip. The only way you can use a secondary ip is if the application specifically has a setting to bind to a specific ip. mtamimi 05-21-2007, 08:01 AM thnx...u mean something like this http://i10.tinypic.com/4pev31k.png ?? |
