multiple NIC card (IP addresses) on my PC

[smallfat]

If I have multiple NIC card on my PC, each with different IP addresses in different subnets, how can I let the client listen on a particular interface (or IP address)?

To my experience, although we can specify the signaling IP address on the server via "+set net_ip" option, we can not ask the client to listen on a defined IP, can we?

It seems my client only listens on dev eth0 while I want it listen on eth1 (for a LAN game).

Thanks in advance!

Start Tremulous with +set net_ip on the command line or /set net_ip in the console followed by /net_restart

Yes we can

Are you trying to connect to a server on your LAN (that is only reachable with eth1)? That should work without you needing to set net_ip unless maybe your routing table is screwed up, which seems unlikely

Thank you so much for the reply! I added +set net_ip after tremulous and it worked! the server appears on my favorite source list LOL.

One thing I am not sure, the ping value from the game shows 270, while the server and client are right next to each other, with a rtt of 0.3ms. Is there any way to keep the ping down?

thanks again!

Also, does it work on a GRE tunnel?
Just tried, it seems not working.
