Multiple IP addresses on Single NIC Question - Windows

So I know you can add multiple IP addresses to a single NIC in Windows, but is there a way to tell that system which IP address to use for outgoing communication? For example, lets say I assign the following IP addresses to my XP Box >

10.1.1.1
10.1.1.2
10.1.1.3
10.1.1.4
10.1.1.5

but I only want the destination host to see that I'm coming from 10.1.1.4?

So if I telnet to 10.1.1.200, it thinks I'm coming from 10.1.1.4

Let 10.1.1.4 appear on the top of the list, Windows seams to always pick the one on the top.

Note: Other rules might apply if you configure multiple subnets on the same NIC.

thanks S0lo, that's what I thought, but I still wonder if there's a way to force a given IP from th list. If anyone knows, please advise.

Why would you want to assign 2 ip's to one card?

Fault tolerance. It's called multi-homing IIRC.
If the physical NIC fails, then connectivity is lost. If there is a logical problem on one IP address, in theory the other address can take over. But it's a far more complicated subject than that!
