Sockets and Interfaces

[LucL]

Hey Guys,

I know how to open up a new socket, how to listen, send data, etc.

But say I have to ethernet adapters on a server and I want to perform all the socket actions on a particular interfance, say not eth0 but eth1. Is there any way to specify the interface/ethernet card when creating new sockets in Java?

Thanks!
Luc L.
