[Implemented] IP Binding ...

[Shannara]

It would be nice to have the ability to bind to an IP, not just a port. This is extremely usefull for servers who have multi-homed IP addresses (most of them), as you dont want someone to connect to slashdot.org to get to the HackSlash.org game

Just found this old (and dusty *cough*) topic.

While working on my Linux server, I thought how useful it would be to be able to stick to certain network interfaces. Just like Postfix, Postgrey, Amavis and so on. Then you could write some add-ons for those programs.
I suggest to expand the CreateNetworkServer() command by a new, optional parameter which defines the IP/Interface to stick to.

If it's this old, then I don't think we will get it anytime soon
Shannara has gone from the PB forums I think after asking for it so many times over the years.

Well, I just didn't want to create yet another thread for this request.

Forcebindip is a free DLL that should bind any EXE to an IP as long as the EXE uses only standard Winsock calls.
