I have coldfusion 9 server on my development server. but when i try to log in to the website on the dev server a licensing error shows up saying the IP address is disallowed. can anyone tell me how to assign the IP address that needs to have access to the CF server?

    You don't assign them: it simply serves the first two IP addresses that make requests.

    So let me get this straight. you are saying that there is no way i can, as a Coldfusion server admin assign the 2 IP addrr that shud access it. but CF server by itself takes the first 2 IP addresses.

    So in that case if I restart the service. then my IP address and one other IP address loggin would be able to access. the 3rd one would be kicked out, right? but if i restart the service again the any 2 IP addr logining in first would have access. is that so?

    Also this happens only on CF developer edition right? if i get licensing then no of IP addrr accessing shud not be an issue, is that right?

    As Adam said.  Yes that is exactly how the free developer's edition works.  With the addition that the local loop back url (127.0.0.1 aka localhost) never counts towards the two IP limit.

    I also wanted to add, if you get a new license for a CF 9 ColdFusion server, the EULA allows that license to also be used for development, staging, QA and cold backup servers.  Thus that licensed development server WILL NOT have the IP restrictions.
