Title: Multiple network adapters
Post by: Eriond on September 19, 2002, 11:58:34 AM

Hi!

Does anyone know how to direct certain services/applications under XP to a specific network adapter (in case You\'re connected to more than one LAN, of course).
As an example I\'d like to FTP (Cute) and Browse (IE 6.0) via my ADSL, and the rest should go via my \"ordinary\" LAN.

It really depends how you set up your LAN.  It might be easier for you to use a dsl router and plug all your comps into it, then you only need 1 adapter for the computer in question here.  It would get its \'web/internet\' services from the adsl connection, and still be able to browse the rest of your \'private\' lan.

I hope I´m not mistaken... but it cannot be done. Why? Because windows will only use one interface at a time, no matter if you have both enabled, it will only use one.
