I don't think so, it depends on the service. There may be a way to tell the w32time service to bind to a specific IP but I have not heard of it. If it's a firewall just cut it off in the rules. It's a good idea to not allow direct connections to your firewall anyways... You should always have a stealth firewall if possible. -Aaron ----------------------- Aaron Dokey - MIS Reid Tool Supply 2265 Black Creek Rd.

(precisely because it is a firewall). Any way to specify what NIC or IP Windows 2000 services use? -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 8:56 AM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: How to configure services to use to specific NIC Disable the second NIC if the server is not a router/firewall or being used for fault-tolerance/load balancing/NIC Teaming.

(Specifically I would like the W32Time service to only use the internal NIC on a Windows 2000 server with 2 network cards). I know that in IIS, for example, you can specify what IP address it listens to, or disable socketpooling so it doesn't listen on TCP port 80 all IP addresses... but for other services, can you also specify those things?
