Hi,
the following is an excerpt from
http://www.eu.microsoft.com/technet/...g/tcpip03.mspx
"...When TCP connections are made from a multihomed host, things get a
bit more complicated. If the connection is a Winsock connection using
the DNS name space, once the target IP address for the connection is
known, TCP attempts to connect from the best source IP address
available. Again, the route table is used to make this determination.
If there is an interface in the local computer that is on the same
subnet as the target IP address, its IP address is used as the source
in the connection request. If there is no best source IP address to
use, the system chooses one randomly."
So, when the system chooses a source IP address randomly, say when you
run Internet Explorer, does the source IP address stay the same for
all connections initiated by the process id of Internet Explorer?
