Traffic over two networks.

[npoe1]

Is there a way to route application traffic from a specific application or ports over a wireless network while every other traffic is going through the LAN wired connection?
I want to do it on Windows XP, but I have no idea of how to do this.
Is it even possible?

Thank you,

If by traffic you mean LAN, you might be able to bind one card to the file sharing of the local network, and the other card on its own (No sharing binding).

If you are talking about Internet the answer is No.

Yes, I was talking about internet connection with a wireless access and LAN (email and work stuff) by LAN.

so are you trying to use the wireless on a work computer to do something you cant do on the work network for some reason? thats kinda how it is sounding.

LOL, the more prevalent scenario is the need to combine the neighbor's unprotected Wireless with the own Internet to get faster the "Junk". :hmm: - D: - -

You could run VirtualBox or VirtualPC and then bind the virtual machine to the desired network adapter (wireless in your case). Then anything you do inside that virtual machine will happen on the wireless adapter, leaving the rest of your machine on the LAN.

Here is a link to a pre-installed disk image provided by Microsoft. It is a fully contained copy of Windows that allows you test out Internet Explorer (for a limited amount of time - 120 days I think). It's a big download but it may meet your needs. Once downloaded, you can duplicate the disk image and run a "copy" of it, then dispose of the image after the 120-day clock runs out if you like. (I think the clock starts when you "boot" it for the first time)

As seen above, this type of thing can create a security issue, which may or may not be acceptable with your employer. So, you should definitely seek approval from your employer or systems/network admin before attempting this on a computer at work.

Good luck!

Basically that is the scenario and the easiest solution seems to be plug and unplug the LAN cable.

and if you cant do it on the work network...can you get in trouble for doing it on the work pc? because thats probably a bad call.
