Possible to bind to specific network card

Hey,

I have a server with two NIC’s and I wanted the client to use a specific NIC. Can I do this?

Cheers,

Hallo Jon,

Sorry, I have no answer.
But I also need to bind UrBackup Server to a special Network-Card.
I read in the FAQ: On Linux you can configure which network adapters UrBackup should broadcast on …
But I am working on Windows Server and I don’t know how to do this on Linux.

In my config there are a WAN-Adapter with fixed IP-Config for the connection from outside and another ethernet card for the internal network. With both cards active no local client get a connection to the UrBackup Server. When I de-activate the WAN- ethernet card and start the Urbackup-Service the backup start immediately on the new clients…
So now I have to close the WAN-Connection for every new backup-client …

Can someone help?

Cheers Rainer

So your problem is less that you cannot speficy the network interface but that it does not use all network interfaces?

What is the output of

hostname
nbtstat -a output of hostname

?

Hi uroni,

thank you for your response. The nbtstat -a listet as:

LAN-Verbindung LAN:
Knoten-IP-Adresse: [192.168.0.2] Bereichskennung: []

The HostName is “REMOTE” as you can see. The Workgroup-Name, the WAN-IP and the MAC Adress is “like” this one. I changed that for security reason. But I think that is not importent.
It run on a 2008 R2 Server.
