Set NIC Tool (Multinic.exe)

Use the Set NIC tool to specify which network interface card (NIC) a client will bind to for use with Remote Tools. By default, the Remote Tools Client Agent binds to the first NIC in the binding order. If your network includes clients that have more than one NIC installed, the first NIC in the binding order might not be the desired NIC.
