What do you mean? When you are on the server using IE, you are seen as having different IPs? When you have multiple IPs on a single NIC in W2K, all outgoing requests are made through the primary IP. You can't change that, iirc. So, if you go to a site like www.showmyip.com, you should always see your primary IP. If you don't, please let me know how you did this in W2K! I believe in 2003, there is a way to control which IP is used for outgoing requests. Ray at work- ----Original Message----- From: Bill Beckett [mailto:Bill.Beckett@xxxxxxxxxx] I have a W2K server running IIS5. This box has 3 IP addresses, one of which I have opened up to the outside. If I open IE it will go out to the internet sometimes, therefore I'm guessing that sometimes it happens to use the address I opened up and sometimes it uses an address which I have not opened up. My question, is there a way to force the server to use one IP address when going out to the internet? ********************************************************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
