Re: Assigning IP Addresses beyond 5 limit

The limit on IP addresses on a card is a limit of the registry, not the
server. You can only enter 5 IP's per nic through network setup, but you
can hack the registry and enter as many addresses as you want...UNTIL you
reach the string limit of a registry key. Enter away to your heart's
content. I think the string limit is 255 char or something like that.

Hope this helps.
