Guest Simone Navari Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 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
Guest R. McCarty Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Re: Different IP for different users 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.

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. Simone Navari.

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.
