hi everyone
We have a number of computers that are running Windows server 2003.
On two of these machines I added an ip address in addition to the primary ip address assigned to the adapter.
After adding the new ip address I tried pinging the ip address which was also successful.
The problem is that when i say ping <name of the computer> the reply address is from the newly added ip address.
I tried on another machine where it is returning the primary address
For example
computer name : backup
Primary ip address:192.168.100.200
subnet : 255.255.255.0
secondary address:151.0.0.1
subnet : 255.255.255.0
now if if run the command
ping backup
i get a reply from 151.0.0.1
but on another machine with the same configuration (win 2003 server)
computer name : backup
Primary ip address:192.168.100.200
subnet : 255.255.255.0
secondary address:151.0.0.1
subnet : 255.255.255.0
when i run the command
ping backup
i get a reply from 192.168.100.200
All the ip-addresses specified above are local ip's
Please let me know what has to be done so that I get the primary ip address of the machine when I ping the machine using its name instead of its secondary ip ie 192.168.100.200 instead of 151.0.0.1
Thanks in advance
