Abstract
A method and system for associating a process on a multi-user device with a host address unique to a user session associated with the process begins by allocating a unique host address for the user session and assigning it to a network adapter. Requests that may bind network resources are intercepted, and relevant bind request parameters are manipulated to specify the host address associated with the user session. The original target of the request is invoked with potentially modified parameters.
