Abstract
A method of handling network access in a multi-user server system is disclosed. In the disclose system, a virtual network adapter is created for each user session on the multi-user server system. Each virtual network adapter receives its own independent IP address such that each individual user session appears to be a unique network node to other systems on the computer network.
