Using 2 network adapters no option to choose which?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hi,

 

I have 2 network adapters on my machine that use two different IP ranges and subnets. They both connect to the internet trough 2 different WAN modems. Is there no way to get Plex Media Server to specifically run on an adapter of your choosing. I can see that you can pick a port number but not the interface it uses??

 

Hope there's enough info there for someone to explain how I can achieve this or tell me it's not possible.

 

Thanks

Correct. It is not possible

You can search the forums for multiple NICs or binding and read previous discussions on the subject. There are some posts that advise on having gateway defined for the one you want Plex Media Server to use but not the other
