    The server only have one NIC which has 3 static IPs:

    Hi,

    You can do this by

    route CHANGE <current gw> MASK 255.0.0.0 <newgw>

    Thanks,

    Hi Xiaolu,

    We cannot easily change the route interface IP order. Not like XP have primary IP address, for server 2008 please apply the following hotfix and only leave 203.23.176.221 in the IPv4 properties. After that, running the below netsh command to add the additional IP addresses with the parameter:

    Netsh int ipv4 add address <interface name> <ip address> <subnet mask> skipassource=ture

    So the added addresses are not used for outgoing packets. For more detailed information, please refer to the following article:

    All IP addresses are registered on the DNS servers when the IP addresses are assigned to one network adapter on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Vista SP2

    Hi Aiden,

    Thanks for your reply, they are very helpful links. However, I can't apply these patches because my env setup. This is a hosting servers thus need to advertise those multiple IPs and for SSL binding. Because windows change default route IP as I added more, it affects how we calculate the download usage for the clients. One of the client has a database syn process to a external server and it changes as well. 

    My work around is to change the syn process outgoing IP by binding MSSQL server to a dedicated IP.

    Regards

    Hi Xiaolu,

    Thanks for your feedback. I have tested, even though the hotfix product only showing for Vista, it also applied for Windows 2008 sp2. Please download the hotfix try to apply on Windows 2008 sp2. If you have any update or concern, feel free to let us know.


    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    It’s odd. I have tested in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 64 bit. Is you platform is x86? As this hotfix might need additional testing, it might have some potential issue for Windows Server 2008, so Microsoft has deactivated the download page for 2008 SP2. Given this situation, you may need other workaround for this issue. For additional support on this issue, I would suggest that you contact Microsoft Customer Support service. They are the best resource for this kind of issues. Your understanding is highly appreciated.

    Oops, it is x86. I didn't think it is tho.  So this patch doesn't apply to x86 platform. I have to find alternative solution then.

    Thanks very much for your help.
