Windows Server 2008: specifying the default IP address when NIC has multiple addresses
- by Cédric Boivin
I have a Windows Server which has ~10 IP addresses statically bound. The problem is I don't know how to specify the default IP address.
Sometimes when I assign a new address to the NIC, the default IP address changes with the last IP entered in the advanced IP configuration on the NIC. This has the effect (since I use NAT) that the outgoing public IP changes too.
Even though this problem is currently on Windows Server 2008
How can you set the default IP address on a NIC when it has multiple IP addresses bound?
There is more explication on my probleme.
Here is the ipconfig

If i do a pathping there is the answer, the first up is the 99.49, also if my default ip is 99.100
