Unreal <-> binded IPs <-> mirc

[White_Magic]

Okies, i have a XP deicated server, the primary ip is 66.xx.xx.78
i dont not wish to use my bots on a network with the primary ip, so i have been given other ips to bind the mirc scripts with the ip is 66.xx.xx.80
-
[21:31] * Connecting to irc.server.net (6667)
-
[21:31] Local host: 66.xx.xx.80 (66.xx.xx.80)
-
[21:31] -irc.server.net- *** Looking up your hostname...
-
Welcome to my server [email protected]

- why when i connect it uses the primary ip when the local host returned the binded ip? - i have posted this question on a few forums and the answers have been very little and no one seems to be able to help. i really hope someone can with this.

YES ive been into the mirc options and ive added the bind ip into the box etc etc etc.

Unreal isn't using anything. Unreal is simply returning the IP that connected to it.

here is what i think is happening... mirc sees the ip 66.xx.xx.78 and says "ahh i found an ip, lets use that one" and then mirc sees you are connecting to 66.xx.xx.80... so mirc makes a connection 66.xx.xx.78:xxxx -> 66.xx.xx.80:6667.... Unreal sees that the client is using 66.xx.xx.78, unreal tells the client that...
