Two network cards, one's not doin its job

[ROCK]

I have two network cards in my computer, one links to the local area home or office network, the other leads directly out to the internet. I need XP to use the "direct to the internet" one to run the deticated server program. Does anyone know how I could go about this? I hope I was clear enough. Thanks

I know it's a matter of telling the armagetronad-dedicated to bind to a specific IP address, in which case you want to bind it to the appropriate network card. Other than that, i don't know, unless you use a localhost proxy fancy NAT more techspeak mumbo jumbo setup.

Problem here may be that you can't. AA always binds to ANY address, and usually ( according to the Microsoft documentation ) that means it will listen on all interfaces.
Now, a server that just listens to the internet and not to the LAN would be a challenge, but a good firewall should handle that. Apropos firewall: Your firewall needs to be set up to allow incoming UDP packets to the server's port.
