Help with IIS and more then one IP address

[DXD]

Ok I have 2 ip's since I run my own dns servers which I have configured and are working.

I added the second ip to the nic card.

The second IP doesn't show up under IIS.

I'd like the DEFAULT website and the HELM control panel website to only use the first IP address which is there buy if I select the ip address instead of using ALL unasigned the default site works but the helm site does not work.

Anyone know why? When I specify an IP address I would assume I'm not required to put a host header.

I know I'm putting both the default and the helm on the same ip but the helm is on a different port so I thought I still did not need to specify host headers.

Thanks for any help.

Multiple IPs shouldn't be an issue. I'm currently using 13 IP addresses on my Helm control server in IIS and everything works fine. Though, I think you're missing the idea behind the default site. It's common practice to leave the IP address selection for that site at All Unassigned to prevent people from seeing a "No site is configured at this address" error message when they try to access an IP directly without a host header or mistype a subdomain. Just for an example, here's (http://69.93.181.90) what mine shows. Just a simple advertisement.

If you put the control panel site on an existing ip, it should operate fine due to the non-standard port assignment. However, are you sure you're not setting the default site to a dedicated IP and leaving the Helm site as All Unassigned, since that's what it's created under by default?

Gotcha, and I figured out my issue.

I'm still wondering why the IIS dropdown only shows the 1 ip address when the nic card has 2 assigned to it.

Thanks

GUI glitch, been there forever. I just manually type the ip addresses in.
