Hi all,

To start off with; I know installing X-drive (see http://www.xdrive.com) was asking for problems. But since every problem can be a way to learn something more about how things work, I would like to know if someone can enlighten me on this problem.

I'm running a LAN (4 PC's, one networked All-in-One, a few other devices) with fixed IP's. All used IP's lie between 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.9. On my own PC I've got a mess of network connections, from 2 NIC's (one disabled), a 1394 connector, a VPN, and since recently a loopback connection for X-drive.

The biggest problem now is, that my network name (P4-3000) has been connected to the IP that X-drive is using (10.254.254.253), not the IP for the active NIC. Which bring me to the interesting question; how is it decided which network connection the network name is mapped to, and how do I change it when this goes wrong like in my case?

Thanks for any insights,

Peter

Here's an example of trying to reach my PC from one of the other PCs on the network:

C:\>ping p4-3000

Pinging p4-3000 [10.254.254.253] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 10.254.254.253:
	Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

The real IP address of my PC is 10.0.0.3, not 10.254.254.253...
