    How to set multiple IP addresses for Windows Server 2003?

    I've done this before, on this box even, but right now I'm totally drawing a blank.  How do I configure my server to respond to multiple separate IP addresses?

    Figured it out.  There are two ways, actually:

    1) Add another NIC.  Set one NIC up for DHCP, and the other one up with specific IPs (using the Advanced button on the TCP/IP properties dialog).  Since this was for a VirtualPC image, it was a simple thing to tell it to add another (virtual) NIC.

    2) Hack the registry.  Here's an article I found (but did not test) that shows how:

    You can also add a new IP to the NIC if its within the same subnet.

    True, part of my initial concern was because I was using DHCP for my main NIC, and so was trying to figure out how to add IPs *and* use DHCP.  In the end, I just had one NIC use DHCP, and the other one I gave multiple IPs to.
