How bind socket to device in windows?

Question

I have same network cards in computer. All cards has identical IP. I need to bind socket to specific card. In linux I can use flag SO_BINDTODEVICE. How I can do this in windows.

P.S. This needed for UDP sockets.

Multiple NIC with same IP is legal on seperated networks. The IP's are bound per device. — PeterMmm, Dec 23 '09 at 09:56

I answered a similar question here: Using a specific network interface for a socket in windows

AFIK: in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 IP4 I believe you can't, but for IP6 you can. And for Windows Vista and Windows 2008 you can (except for certain circumstances).

Hope that helps
