Binding protocol to network adapter

[PhilKGH]

I have a Win 2000 server running a piece of fax software, which listens for connections on a particular TCP port. The server has two network cards in it and doing a netstat -a seems to suggest this particular service has attached itself to the wrong network card, which isn't accessible from the internal network.

Is there a way to force it to listen on this port on the other network card?

Regards,
Phil.

Hi Phil,

Have you tried going into properties on Network places / Advanced / Advanced settings and moving the ethernet adapter you want it to use to the top of the list so it (hopefully) binds to that one ?

I have a couple of pieces of software that this works for.

Give it a try.

I think you're thinking of NT4 here Deadeye. I can't see where to do this in 2000.

I've sorted the problem now anyway. The software suppliers told me how to uninstall the service and reinstall it. That did the trick, binding it to the correct network card.

Thanks for your post anyway.

Regards,
Phil.

Nope the advanced setting is available in Win2K and XP.

Glad you got it working.
