Default Network to use?

[RadiclDreamer]

I use 2 networks, one for internet connection and one for exchange email and file storage. For some reason windows defaults to the wrong network connection to use for internet. Is there a way to set the default connection to use for internet to a certain adapter?

remove the default gateway from the second adaptor

You can choose the default by changing the TCP/IP stack Metrics.

Lowest number would be the default.

1. In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.
2. Right-click a network interface, and then click Properties.
3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click Advanced.
5. To specify a metric, on the IP Settings tab, click to clear the Automatic metric check box, and then enter the metric that you want in the Interface Metric field.

Put 10 for the one that you would like to be the default and 20 in the other.
