I was able to set up Apache and IIS on my Windows 7 machine and have them both running at the same time. I accomplished this by giving myself multiple IP address as well as making the changes described in this post.

As far as Apache, IIS and basic internet surfing, I'm good to go.

However, a few gremlins have shown up recently that make me doubt this was 100% successful:

  • When I view a long video on YouTube, it freezes less than two minutes in. (Happens on FF and IE)
  • When I play Rift, I get disconnected after a couple of minutes of game time
  • When I downloaded a 10MB attachment from Gmail, it took several tries to get it down

If I remove the multiple IP addresses, the issues go away.

What other changes should I make so that I can keep these multiple IP Addresses and go back to normal with my recreational network activities?

Only because I saw this in a similar post, here is my route table:

192.168.1.99 is a static IP for Apache/MySQL

192.168.1.2 should be for everything else

Strange, this could be explained by some packets being sourced from the .99 address rather than the .2 address, but the routing table belies that idea. I would be suspecting Windows of doing something odd and using wireshark to confirm that all outgoing packets come from .2 – Paul Oct 20 '11 at 4:03
@Paul Installed Wireshark, ran it while under a single IP (obtained "automatically" if that matters). All ran fine...all ips went to destination "192.168.1.9" (which was the automatically obtained ip address). Stopped Wireshark, went back to my multp. IP config (.2/.99) and started Wireshark again. Ran Rift...played for about five minutes; no problems. Started Apache/MySQL and then started getting the disconnected issue. Stopped Apache/MySQL; issues continued (coincidence I suppose). However, no ip of .99 found. – ray023 Oct 20 '11 at 4:54
I think we need to try and isolate where in the network this is occurring. Are you able to identify the rift server ip somehow? I am thinking that if you run two simultaneous ping -t <ip address - one to 192.168.1.1 and one to the rift server, and see if you get dropped packets to either during a rift game with multiple IP config. – Paul Oct 20 '11 at 4:59
@Paul thanks for your help. I haven't been ignoring; but I haven't had the problem. I'll wait if/when it shows back up again and use last suggestions. ty. – ray023 Oct 21 '11 at 20:50
