How can I configure more than 6 IP addresses?
March 4, 1999
A. Using the TCP/IP configuration GUI you are limited to 6 IP addresses however more can be added by directly editing the registry:
Log on as an Administrator
Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices and scroll down to the service for your adapter card (Look at the adapters tab on the Network Control panel applet). For example the Etherlink 3 card is Elnk3, however you want the first occurrence so goto Elnk31.
Move to the ParametersTCPIP subkey
Double click the IPAddress value. Enter in additional IP addresses separated by a new line
When finished click OK
Next edit the SubnetMask and again add an entry for each IP address added (in the same order). Click OK when finished.
Close the registry editor
Reboot the machine
