how to add an ip to a NIC (from the command line)?

hi,

is there a way to add, not set, additional ips bound to a certain
network adapter? (*)

i'm trying

commandprompt> netsh interface "LAN" ip add address=192.168.99.1
255.255.255.0 192.168.99.1
The following command was not found: interface LAN ip add
address=192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.99.1.
("LAN" is the correct ethernet adapter name)

the truth is - i'm trying it on a winxp-pro machine, but it would very
nice for me to receive an answer even if it applies only to servers.

anyway, what alternatives could be employed? a "bridged" virtual
adapter (this would add a MAC addr too) or something similar, maybe?


thank you in advance

(*) the end resoult i'm looking for should be
being able to use my corporate dhcp-assigned ip for usual
networking, plus
a (preferabily) non-routable ip to simulate "http listening" over
two distinct IPs, while being
able to discern what ip has been contacted

Hi,

try this:

netsh int ip add address <InterfaceName> <IP-Address> <SubnetMask>

Works on a W2k8, so I think it should also work on older systems.

Greetings!
