From: DriverSoft Consulting, Ltd on 31 Oct 2006 05:15 I'm implementing a cellular phone as a network adapter over USB on XP. The cellular phone hardware can support multiple concurrent packet switched connections (i.e. multiple primary PDP contexts). The plan is to have the remote USB device present itself as a composite device exposing multiple adapters. Does RNDIS support multiple logical adapters?

You can assign multiple IP addresses to one network adapter. You just cant do this with DHCP though.

Why do you want to expose all these connections to Windows, rather than combine them under one network interface? Do these connections work independently? that is, can they connect you to different hosts? is their number fixed or variable? Regards, --PA

Yes, the connections work independently. Each IP could be connected to a different IP network. The number of exposed logical adapters is limited by the number of USB endpoints on the device. We could expose up to 9 adapters, although I expect we'll only expose 3 or 4.
