I gotta Win2K3 server webbrowser control Internet Explorer question
 

I am running a data mining application on a Win2K3 server that uses a webbrowser control. There are several IP addresses bound to the server. I can easily force the application to use a specific IP but having trouble doing that with the webbrowser part of the application. I want to force the browser control to use a specific IP address rather than the primary server IP which it defaults to every time.

Externally, are there any settings in IE that would force it to use a specific IP, kinda like telling it to use a proxy.

or internally within the application, can the webbrowser control be made to choose a specific IP or is it at the mercy of the IE settings and the primary server IP?

... routing tables... happy googling :)

thanks... I checked out routing tables, but couldn't see how they related to assigning an IP to a browser... anyone else?

What uBob meant was that you can use the route command to add specific routes over distinct nics.

Once you know the destination ip addresses that will be used in the webbrowser control, then you can link requests to those address to the address of the nic card you want them to pass through.

Any traffic to the specified destination will then only follow the path of that routing entry. Never had to do it myself, but it should work.

yeah I kinda read that part about routing traffic to particular ips and nics but not how to tie an ip to an application but I'll take another look. :thumbsup
