Someone knows if on XP Professional it's possible to force that ip
traffic, originated from different users contemporanely acive (fast
user switch is active), has different ip addresses, maybe forcing the
physical output interface even if it isn't a must.

IP addresses are assigned to the network adapters in a PC and not to
users. If the PC in question has one network adapter, it will get
only one IP address.

Thank you for your answer: I suspected this, I asked it for a precise
confirm. The concept is clear: IP settings are system wide; but if I
have one network device with two ip address or, to avoid confusion,
two distinct devices on the same machine each with its IP assigned by
system, isn't possible to force a user to use only one of the two
network interfaces ? For linux I've found some clues that is possible:
I've readed that the traffic to one or more network interface, that
come from a specific user, can be disabled using iptables. Can this
help me and is it available also on XP?
If I tell you why I need this pheraps you or someone else can help me
better. I need to guarantee bandwidthto administrator account giving
low priorities to other users. My router has a bandwidth manager that
allows me to guarantee bandwidth to specific IP addresses and/or
ports: but it can't do it as I need if on the high priority pc,
administrator and other users are logged, consuming bandwidth.


Thank you again,
Best Regards.

===========================

To do this, you could use fixed IP addresses controlled by a script or an
application like IBM's Access Manager that controls location profiles.

Each user would log in and the application or script would force the
change - but you'd probably want to turn off Fast User Switching. And
you'll need to be careful about reserving the fixed address space in the
router.
