You can use ports, a form of dynamic NAT, - PAT, to differentiate the same NIC card usage in the one machine. 192.168.0.1:3025 Be sure they are unique and check your services file for open numbers and put it in. This way you can have multiple traffic through the card and the port acts as a specific assignment beyond the NIC address so it doesn't get confused. It is an easy way to lock something in to an internal program watching for the traffic and picking it up. Use your internal numbers to transfer after the initial connection through the router or server. You can even give another number to the remote socket, but usually you use the same number..
