In a method of managing network addresses for private voice communications, a first request is received from a requesting agent for a connection having a quality of service parameter, a second request for one of a plurality of network addresses based on the quality of service parameter is received, a network address in accordance with the second request is received, and the network address is sent to the requesting agent to establish the connection in accordance with the first request. A media access controller (MAC) is provided having a plurality of MAC addresses, and a requesting agent for sending a first request for a network address is connected to the MAC. A driver module is connected to the MAC and the requesting agent to receive the first request and determine whether the first request is for one of a multimedia connection or data connection. The driver module instructs the MAC to send a second request for a first network address using a first MAC address if the first request is for a multimedia connection, and to send a second request for a second network address using a second MAC address if the first request is for a data connection.
