First request your new IP addresses from Rackshack from the members area. Once you've recieved the new addresses, you just need to bind them to your ethernet adapter.

kelani gave these nice clear instructions in another thread:

1. Start - Settings - Control Panel - doubleclick on Network Connections

2. Rightclick on Local Area Connection and choose Properties

3. Scroll down to Internet Profocol (TCP/IP) select it, and click Properties

4. Click the Advanced tab at the bottom right

5. You will see your current IP address. Click ADD and add the two IP addresses with the correct Subnet Mask provided with them by RS.

6. Click OK to all windows, and the network service should restart. If not, reboot. They should be assigned after that.

If you'd like to automate this in a script for example:

Start -> Run -> cmd.exe
netsh interface ip add address "Local Area Connection" 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Make sure to put the above lines in a *.bat script

You might want to use a 'routable' IP address

I have a quick question ..

i have added extra IP address following "jamesthurley" s post.


But i cant see IP addresses in IIS's dropdown list .. How can i see IP addresses there ..

Greetings!

Please refer to THIS thread

Thanks .. nice One

BEFORE ADDING YOUR IP ADDRESSES...

Logon to your server and ping each one.

Recently, I have has two customers who were issued IP addresses already assigned to another server. This can knock you off the box and you cannot get back on the server.

Ok, I have a Standard Windows server and requested a second IP. I was not given a subnet, but the first three octets are the same, so I assume the subnet is the same. I added it properly, but if I go to dos prompt and try to ping the new IP it does not respond.

Any clues?

What subnetmask did you bind the second IP with? Most subnets should use the 255.255.254.0 mask)

Some of the recently added subnets (> 67.15.118) use 255.255.255.0 ....

Do anyone have any VBScript which can automate addition of IP Addresses to NIC with Subnet mask.

I have tried to add additional 2 IP addresses (assigned to me before) for 2 times and every time I managed to block server completely. After I add addresses to my server (win 2003 std) everything worked perfectly. Even after server restart I could logon and everything. I could ping them with success (before that they were not assigned to someone else). But next time when I tried to logon, nothing. Server is online, I can ping it (all addresses) but all ports seems to be closed except port 21!?. Like ms firewall blocked them all. I used subnet mask as on my primary address (255.255.254.0).

Anyone?

Thank you for help.

I believe you should be heading this issue to your DC directly. They'll sort out the issue for you directly.

Are you actually running a firewall or did you enable the windows firewall?

Just Windows firewall enabled, working fine. Windows Standard, no SP1. All necessary ports are open. When I add extra addresses, all ports are closed except ftp. Last time DC solved issue by disabling firewall. After that I removed IP addresses, turn on firewall and everything is working just fine except that I have no idea what to do next.

Yeah, the network design is good for stealing IP's and sniffing traffic. When will VLAN's ever come to EV1.

This may not be a popular answer, but I would go ahead and go to SP1 and use the security configuration wizard. I did this a few days ago, tested all my services on various IPs. I had to add one or two exceptions, but it seems to be working fine.
