I would like to hook up my computer so that I can use half of my applications using one IP, and half using annother IP.  What are some possible methods to do this?


Some info:
I have windows xp
I have spare network cards, network cables, and hubs.
I connect to my college internet connection using a network cable.
Each connection to the internet has its own IP address.

hi there

i am at university also
and i can hook up to 2 ports

but i have not tried to do it yet and i dont know how to do it

hopefully some one will come up with a program that wither combines 2lans into on fat connection that your pc thinkgs its one lan but its 2

or actually choose which lan u want to use
so u can for example be connected to 2 lans and 2 ftp servers and download at maximum from one ftp with one lan

So what you want is to use one computer that switches IP's acording to what application your using online? Like maybe IE will use one IP while a multiplayer game will use the other one? If that is what your talking about I really don't think that is possible. Just wondering....... why would you even want/need something like that?

Yes that is what I want.  I want to beable to play two copies of the same game at the same time.  But, because the game recognizes people by thier ip address, I need two IP addresses to be able to connect to the server twice.

um....usually just using a different port works perfectly, rather than multiple IP addresses

You can only play one game at a time on a PC. That should mean you have more than one PC. Also, as far as I know, one cable line or modem can only have one IP assigned to it at a time, so you must have two lines with different IPs. Why don't you hook each cable up to each PC?

If this is way off, please forgive the brain fart.

Excluding a dedicated server, one can usually start the hosting and be in the game with 0 ping at the same time.

Yeah, I was talking about the 0 ping aspect of it. I used to do the same thing with MoH:AA. If you play in a dedicated server hosted on the same PC, it'll be ~5ms.

I don't know anything about steam. I've never heard of the same game running twice on the same computer. I guess it's only possible with certain games.
