Hi.
Several people mentions using the more than one IP address with the same PC and same NIC. It sure would be nice for me if I could learn that trick too.
I know about the Alternate COnfiguration tab in the Properties of the TCP/IP setup. But I cannot get it to work (* sob *).
On the "General" tab I have the "Obtain IP address automatically" set. This is required for access to my company network, and I dont want to forgo that.
And then I try to set an additional IP+Subnet on the "Alternate Configuration" tab (looks very simple and easy). But it just dont work.
IPCONGIG /ALL only reports the IP address set by the DNS server.
If I try to connect a PLC with a matching IP+Subnet to the alternate configuration, I cannot reach it.
What is the secret ?
