Different IP for different users

[Guest Simone Navari]

Someone knows if on XP Professional it's possible to force that ip

traffic, originated from different users contemporanely acive (fast

user switch is active), has different ip addresses, maybe forcing the

physical output interface even if it isn't a must.

Probably it's a little strange request and I'm not pretty sure that it

is really possible (pheraphs in theory...) but I thinked to ask to

someone with better knowledge than me before to surrender to evidence.

 

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Simone Navari

TCP/IP settings are system wide for all users. XP Professional supports

Policies so you might be able to create either a policy or logon script to

manually assign an IP Address for specific users.

IP addresses are set on a operating-system basis, not on a user basis. If

you change the machine's IP address while logged on as user X then the

session run by user Y will switch to that same address.

Thank you for your answer: I suspected this, I asked it for a precise

confirm. The concept is clear: IP settings are system wide; but if I

have one network device with two ip address or, to avoid confusion,

two distinct devices on the same machine each with its IP assigned by

system, isn't possible to force a user to use only one of the two

network interfaces ? For linux I've found some clues that is possible:

I've readed that the traffic to one or more network interface, that

come from a specific user, can be disabled using iptables. Can this

help me and is it available also on XP?

If I tell you why I need this pheraps you or someone else can help me

better. I need to guarantee bandwidthto administrator account giving

low priorities to other users. My router has a bandwidth manager that

allows me to guarantee bandwidth to specific IP addresses and/or

ports: but it can't do it as I need if on the high priority pc,

administrator and other users are logged, consuming bandwidth.

 

 

Thank you again,

Best Regards.

Yes, you can enable/disable network adapters on a user by user basis, e.g.

by inserting an appropriate command into the logon script. However, if you

have users logged on at the same time then each of them will get the adapter

that is currently enabled.
