4-3 NIC binding on the Sender If the Remote Computer has multiple NICs, it is possible for the RGS Sender to be "listening" on one NIC while the RGS Receiver is trying to establish a connection to the other NIC. There are three methods to deal with multiple NICs: 1. Manually reconfigure which of the two NICs RGS binds to-see Section 4-3-1, "Manual NIC reconfiguration. 2. Use the RGS Sender NIC binding properties (introduced at RGS 5.1) to explicitly specify which NIC RGS binds to-see Section 4-3-2, "NIC reconfiguration using the NIC binding properties." 3. Disable one of the NICs and restart the Sender-the Sender will then bind to the enabled NIC. The disadvantage of this method, of course, is that one of the NICs will no longer be usable. Methods 1 and 2 are described in the next two sections. 4-3-1 Manual NIC reconfiguration The RGS Sender binds to the first NIC detected during booting. To determine the IP address of the first NIC, perform the following steps on the Remote Computer: 1. To view both NICs, click start > Control Panel > Network Connections (see Figure 4-1). Figure 4-1 Viewing NICs 2. Double-click each LAN icon and the Support tab, which displays the NIC IP address (see Figure 4-2). While this provides the IP address of each NIC, it does not indicate which NIC is considered the "first NIC". Figure 4-2 NIC IP addresses Pre-connection checklist 76
