Newbie question: Binding multiple IPs to one NIC

[TS]

Hi, im just curious if this is possible with win2kpro.
Can I bind multiple external IP addresses to one NIC? Im
looking to have 10 IPs incoming to 1 machine for
different applications and was just wondering if I can do
this.

Thanks in advance

Hi TS,

try using NAT and static map the internal ip address/port combination to the
external ip address/port.

Are you using any form of router/fw? Most decent routers provide very good
NATting.

Is there any software available to help setup NAT and
static mapping for win2k? Or any articles I could browse
that you know of?

This wont be in use with a router etc, just a win2k pro
box with multiple external IPs pointed at it.

Try this:

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 329754
HOW TO: Map External IP Addresses to Internal IP Addresses in the Windows
2000 NAT Service

and:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/columns/cableguy/cg0301.asp

although it clearly talks about win2k server and not pro.

Alternatively try looking for : "windows 2000" nat in Google.

Hello,

You can add multiple IP addresses to the network card.
Right click on My network places and choose properties.
Right click on your network card and choose properties.
Highlight TCP/IP and click properties.
Click on Advanced.
You can add as many IP addresses as you want under IP settings.

If you have a firewall between your computer and the rest of the
network or Internet, you will have to use NAT as GMK suggested.
