Specify network interface

[sangnom]

My computer has two network interfaces representing two different internet connections (two different public IPs) however I wish for SABnzbd to use one of the connections. When both are enabled it will just stop every once in a while, running on the wrong connection, but when I disable one it runs constantly on the other. Is there a way to make it connect only to a specified network adapter? It is very inconvenient to have to disable the other connection.

No this is not possible, see this discussion:

It is possible. I use SABnzbd+ on OS X and used the following command to bind SABnzbd+ to a different NIC then my first NIC.

Code: Select all

sudo route add -host news.server.com 10.0.0.2

Replace news.server.com with the the address (IP or hostname) of you newsserver.
Replace 10.0.0.2 with the gateway of you interface. You can also bind it to a interface instead of a gateway (see: man route).

The above command could also be used under Linux/unix. However the command my change a bit - see: man route - for details.
This "trick" is also available for Windows. I think it is the following command, otherwise search Google. Enter it in the command interface.

Code: Select all

route ADD news.server.com 10.0.0.2
