How do I bind QTSS or DSS to a single IP address if my machine is
multihomed?

The bind_ip_addr property in the streamingserver.xml file tells the server what IP address it
should accept. For example, a value of zero in

<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">0<PREF>

means that all IP addresses are enabled for the server.

To specify a single IP address:

1

Log in to the server as an administrator.

2

Open the streamingserver.xml file and look for the bind_ip_addr property. The file is in the
following locations:

QTSS 4:

/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/streamingserver.xml

DSS 4 ( Windows):

\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server\streamingserver.xml

DSS 4 (other supported platforms):

/etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml

3

Replace the zero with the IP address to which you wish to bind (for example, 192.168.1.1):

<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">192.168.1.1<PREF>

4

Save the file as a plain text file (not .rtf or other format).

5

For the change to take effect, kill the QTSS or DSS processes that are running and then
restart the server.
