# Binding OpUtils to use a Single IP Address

## Summary

Assume that you have installed OpUtils on a computer that has dual IP addresses and you want to make OpUtils use a specific IP address for all communications. This article will help you achieve this.

## Description

Follow the steps below to bind all communications to a specific IP address:

- Stop the OpUtils Service.
- Go to `<OpUtils install dir>\ProgramFiles\Adventnet\ME\conf` and open the `Server.xml` file in an editor.
- Edit the connector node with the correct IP address as given below:

**Before editing:**

```xml
<Connector acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" debug="0" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="7080" redirectPort="8443"></Connector>

<Connector acceptCount="100" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="-1" debug="0" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" keystoreFile="./conf/server.keystore" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" name="SSL" port="7443" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS"></Connector>
```

**After editing:**

```xml
<Connector acceptCount="100" address="192.168.110.132" connectionTimeout="20000" debug="0" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="80" redirectPort="8443"></Connector>

<Connector acceptCount="100" address="192.168.110.132" clientAuth="false" connectionTimeout="-1" debug="0" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" keystoreFile="./conf/server.keystore" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" name="SSL" port="7443" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS"></Connector>
```

The IP address shown above is just an example; you should include the appropriate IP address here.

- Save the `server.xml` file and start OpUtils.
