Multiple network cards internet problem

Hi,

Does anyone know how in winxp I can set a "primary network adapter" or alike so that the os will fetch the internet from that card?

I have several network cards but the os tries to get internet through the wrong one. I hope it described the problem accurately.



Thanks.

You want to set a gateway of last resort. If you access the command prompt and type "route print" you'll see 1 persistent route. You need to remove that route and add one according to which network card/ gateway you want to use. You can use the command "route delete" to remove the route. And "route add" to add a new route. Don't forget the -p switch when adding the route otherwise it gets deleted after a reboot.
