Using multiple different IP's on the same computer

I'm running 10.6, I figure you need to do something on the command line to do this...
Let's say that I have 3 connections coming into my computer - a WIFI, an ethernet, and a dial-up, and each has a unique IP.
How do I specify what application uses what IP? For example, let's say I want Safari to access the internet via the Airport IP, Firefox to access via the ethernet IP, and Opera to access via the dial-up IP.
Thank you for your help.

OK, so let me ask another question:
Here is my printout from ifconfig -a:

en0 is ethernet and en1 is airport. So now, all my traffic will be going out through en0 because it's listed higher, correct? Now, if I go to my network control panel, go to set service order, and put airport (en1) higher than ethernet (en0) then all my traffic will go out through airport, correct? Now I did do that, and I typed ifconfig -a again, but the listing still showed the same, so do I need to restart to make the change effective or is there a command for the system to flush and change the order immediately?
And how do I check for sure on which interface my outbound traffic is going through?

  • I have two iphones and I want to use two different apple IDs on the same computer without any syncing of the two phones?

    I have two iPhones. How do I have two seperate apple ID's on one computer without them syncing.

    You can either do as sberman suggested - create separate User logons on the computer
    or
    You can make sure that you are syncing Contacts, Calendars, and Mail via the individual iCloud accounts.
    Then, for Apps, Music, Movies, Books, Photos, etc. you would set up each individual iPhone's options to only sync what you want to have loaded to each of the phones from the iTunes and Photo libraries. You do this by setting up the individual Device Profile pages to have only what is selected for that particular device. When you hook the device up via a USB cord, you will see the device Profile pages to the right of the sidebar. Select each Profile page and set it up as desired for the particular device.
    Also, turn off Automatic downloads in Settings>iTunes & Apps Store>Automatic Downloads on each device.

  • How to set Different applications running on the same computer to use different Gateways?

    Dear All,
    I would like to have different applications running on the same computer to use different Gateways (both gateways are in the same subnet).
    Is it possible in Windows7 with / without a third-party utility?
    Current scenario & requirements:
    I have two internet connections. Both are in the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) and connected to the same LAN switch
    Gateway for the first connection is 192.168.1.1
    Gateway for the second connection is 192.168.1.2
    I need to set my chrome browser & google talk to use the gateway 192.168.1.1
    I need to set my IE & skype to use the gateway 192.168.1.2
    Is it possible? Answers are appreciated!!
    Regards,
    Anees

    Hi,
    I agree with Bill. Gateway is essentially an IP address for one network to other networks. For example, you have two networks: network A and network B, to make the two networks communicate with each other, you must go through Gateway. That is, as long
    as you set Gateway, then you can make the two networks communicate with each other. The ip address for Gateway is the ip of device with routing enabled. One host machine can own multiple gateways.

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

  • "you can not use multiple instance of Program at the same time"

    Hello @ all,
    I have a Problem, after the installing from Acrobat Testversion and acrobat reader in version in "all Combination" 8 an 9.
    I get this misstake information "you can not use multiple instance of Program at the same time" if I want open more then 1 .pdf.
    If I have no pdf open, but acrobat/reader so i can´t open with the same Misstake.
    I have deinstalled and installed, Allways I bekame the same information. I tryed all things to clean and know i don`t know forward.
    Important: by Drag an Drop in the Acrobat Reader it is going, but by direct click on the pdf i get mistake.
    Maybe, you know what I can do!
    Thanks for help!

    Installation of both Acrobat and Reader in the same Windows machine is not advisable. If I were you, I would remove both completely and then reinstall the one you want to keep.

  • Is it possible to have multiple different texts conversations with the same two people?

    In iOS 8.1.3 is it possible to have multiple different text conversations with the same person? I'm looking for a way to set an old conversation aside to talk about something new.
    Is this possible?

    speculation is agaisnt the ToS here, but you never know (I was shocked when we got 8 track recording in GB2)
    best thing to do is to send Apple some Feedback and let them know what features you want (they really do read what's sent):

    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.
