Hi,
I have a Win7 desktop computer which has both a wi-fi and a cabled connection. I want the wi-fi connection to be used by one application only (virtualbox) while the other apps should use the cabled one. How could I do that easily?
(I have Comodo firewall and tried to use the Network Zones without success...)

You can set the interface metric for the wifi card to a higher number than the wired NIC. This will tell Windows to prefer the wired interface.

Once that is done you can bind the network connections of your virtual machines to the wifi interface.

Thanks!
Does this mean that windows (and thus apps by default) will always use the one with lower metric if it's available?
