Hello,

How can I select on wich interface a socket will connect to?
Say I have a pc with one network card and a 56K modem, how can I select
on wich interface will the socket connect?

Thank you

you need to specify the ip address that interface has been assigned to in
the bind-call.

Actually its not a server. I dont do any binding call, just a connect.

Then where is your problem? The two interfaces have been assigned distinct
IPs, so connect to the appropriate one.

Bind is not only for server sockets. Googling for "bind client socket"
reveals an example: http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/sockets.html
