Computers running Microsoft Windows often have more than one network connection available. Adaptive Server versions 15.7 ESD #1 and later start listener tasks on every discrete network connection it can identify on the local computer, ensuring that your clients can connect, regardless of the physical network connection they are using.
Use sp_listener to alter the default listener configuration, start additional listeners, or stop existing ones, specifying the IP address of the network connection to change.
Make sure you use the IP address with sp_listener and
not the host name: using the host name results in sp_listener affecting
only the first listed network interface, which may not be the one
you want.
Use the Windows ipconfig command to identify your available network connections. See your operating system documentation.
