Here it is:
hkey_local_machine\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\Services\"name of your network
card"\parameters\tcpip
"name of your network card" will be something like ELNK313. You'll probably
recognize it.
Under here there is an ipaddress value and a subnetmask value.
Edit these using regedit32 (remember only the 32 bit version)
make sure to add a subnetmask corresponding to each ip address
Also make sure to reboot after making the changes.
There have been reports (BINDNT mail list) of running several hundred IP
addresses bound to the same card without a problem. The only thing to watch
out for is if you are binding protocols like netbeui or wins to the card
that has the multiple IPs. I would suggest only binding TCP/IP to this card.
Good luck,
Randy
