I'm not sure what you mean by order. If a NIC has been configured with multiple addresses, all the addresses will be valid at the same time. Gateways and dns servers will be ordered though. This article explains how to configure advanced networking in Windows.

Thanks, Since assigning some additional ips to the adapter, all requests seem to be coming from one of the secondary ips not the original "primary ip" – keyoke Apr 2 '11 at 11:36
Similar question on Microsoft technet site: link. Maybe that will give you a hint. – Ole_Brun Apr 2 '11 at 13:31
thanks I will try the following hotfix support.microsoft.com/kb/2386184 Im running SP 1 so I suppose it wasnt included... – keyoke Apr 2 '11 at 14:27
actually i think was included in SP1, I think its just a matter of running following command to add the additional IP's - "Netsh int ipv4 add address <Interface Name> <ip address> skipassource=true" – keyoke Apr 2 '11 at 14:30
hmm unfortunately there is no way to set this option on an existing IP you have to del and then add again. this is not possible for me. – keyoke Apr 2 '11 at 15:19
