multiple IP addresses

[Jeff]

Hey

I'm using an winXP Professional (sp2 installed) computer which is connected
to internet, hence it has an IP address. But how do I add more IP addresses
to this computer ?? so I end up having for example 4 IP addresses on this
computer, while having only one network card

Why would you want to? What exactly are you trying to do?

I want to test a datasystem... learn how to configure it etc... and this
datasystem needs atleast 2 ip addresses... if it is not possible i'll wait
until I can do it on a windows server 2003 server instead.... eventually
this datasystem will be deployed to a windows server 2003...

This is somewhat solved, I didn't figure out how to apply multiple IP
addresses to my winXP machine. But instead I try to configure this on a
win2k3 computer....

Most PC/servers already have two IP addresses set up per network
adapter. The first is the network IP address assigned to the network
adapter and the second is always 127.0.0.1 (localhost.)

Google.
Save yourself time... Learn to search. ;-)

Search using Google!

Searching for:
how to add multiple IPs to a single network card in Windows XP
Gives:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+add+multiple+IPs+to+a+single+network+card+in+Windows+XP

It boils down to clicking "add" under the advanced settings (TCP/IP) IP
address section of the given network interface...

Although - I'd think you would be much better off theese days utilizing
virtual machines to learn what it is you are likely trying to learn.
