Hi all, I have one network card and an ip address of 10.101.1.30 on my XP machine with subnet as 255.255.255.0 and gateway being 10.101.1.2. I recently added an another ip address of 10.101.1.31 to the same network card (same subnet and gateway). Now i can ping my system from other machines on both the ip addresses and i get a reply back, also in the settings i see both the ip addresses listed there, therefore being sure that my system is using both the ip addresses. But when i connect to other systems or the internet(using proxy), the first ip address is always used by default for sending data packets. i see 10.101.1.30 as my ip address when connecting to sites such as cmyip.com, now my question is that how can i select on my will, which ip address should be used for communication/sending data packets. Can i create a rule for different browsers/applications etc. to use the specific ip address for communication. If so then how to do that?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
