Multiple IP addresses per NIC

Question

How can I have multiple IP addresses assigned to a single NIC? I remember doing this on Unix way back when. Can it be done on Windows?

I know it CAN be done, because VMWare does it. I don't know HOW it's done though. — Grant, Apr 30, 2009 at 14:22

Yes, it can be done in Windows:

Go to the Control Panel > Network Connections
Right click on the Local Area Connection (or whichever network connection you want to add the 2nd IP Address) and click Properties
Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the connection box and click properties
Enter the first IP address in the properties box
Click Advanced
Click Add under the IP Addresses box and enter the information for the 2nd IP Address
Close all the boxes

Got it. Thanks. With one slight addition: 2.5 "and select Properties"

Yes, it can be done.

On XP it was just a case of going into the "advanced" settings in the TCP/IP settings for the network.

I don't have Vista or any of the "server' variants of Windows to check against, but I'd be amazed if it wasn't possible.
