add another ip to your NIC

So adding another ip to ones NIC. When you got dhcp provided and want another
internal ip for you home network.
In Win Xp it was easy, just regedit
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\~Current
ControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{B003AD4A-B6DB-44FD-9741-CBA3C51B6498} (GUID)
and edit the IpAddress and SubnetMask in the multi string dialog boxes on
the second and third line for each ip.
What about Vista? How do you add more ip's?

Re: add another ip to your NIC

This will not do the trick.
I remembered that under XP you had a similar options that wont work as well.
You had to do it in regedit to make it work.

Re: add another ip to your NIC

Hey guys, jnordlund is right, you have to do it through regedit.

However I have a problem - Vista is different, and I'm not sure what to do. The Ip and Subnetmask strings are single string boxes, not the multi line boxes. I tried adding a second IP in by just added a space in between (ie 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2) - but it wont work. Any help? Cheers in advance
