I'm trying to run the server on a Windows NT Server 4.0 box that has multiple IP's bound to the servers' NIC.

With TS Server 1.x, There was a setting in the tsserver.ini file of "IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" under the [Networking] section.

Is there a similar command for the 2.x server?

At this point it appears that the server is binding and only listening to the first IP that the server has. All the IP's are listed from the right click menu on the tool bar.

TIA

Hi,

I am not sure if you actually looked into the ini file before posting this but if you did you have probably overlooked the

BoundToIp=

;)

Actually, I did try it. It appears to not work. Have any others given this option a go and made it work?

thx,

Was your designated IP first in the list or somewhere in the middle? Also, what OS are you running it on?

OK, figured it out. Turns out that the shortcut being used to start the server did not have the 'Start in:' field filled in with the directory that the TS server executable was in. So, the TS server went off and created a new server.ini file and ignored the one that was in the directory with the executable.

So, I just modified the shortcut by adding TS server directory name into the Start in field and everything worked fine.

This also solved a login problem I was having with the web interface. Essentially a bad password error.

Thanks,
