problems in binding INADDR_ANY

[mpk1979]

Hi all, My application was binding to a specific address earlier, but now there is a requirement of binding it to INADDR_ANY, the problem which i'am facing while binding to INADDR_ANY is...the client can able to listen to the data coming from main IP of server i.e for ex: my server system is having 7 IP's like 172.16.8.1 to 172.16.8.7, and main IP is 172.16.8.1...if client is connecting with 172.16.8.1 it works fine...but if it is connecting with other IP's, client is unable to listen to the data coming from other IPS. Can any one suggest me a solution for this mpk1979

If you bind to INADDR_ANY how will the other end know what address to send to?
