HOWTO: Bind an IP in Windows O/S
Go to your active internet connections properties.
IE: In Windows XP, right click the network icon in your task bar, choose open Network Connections, then right click your appropriate network connection and choose Properties.
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click Properties.
Select the "Use the following IP Address" radio button option. Enter the information your ISP has given to you, including your DNS servers.
To add more IPs, other than your primary, select Advanced button in the lower right.
Making sure you are at the IP Settings tab, view the IP Addresses field box, and click Add.
Again, fill out your new additional IP address(es) with subnet mask provided to you by your ISP. Repeat as needed for additional IP addresses. Click OK to everything and close those windows. The second, third (4th etc) IP(s) should now be bound to your NIC and free for use.
