Need a lil help guys..
I have a ADSL internet connection (connected to lan port of desktop via ethernet cable) which I use to play online games and I use a 3G dongle for downloading torrents. However when the ADSL LAN internet is connected, the pc ignores the dongle connection and continues to use the adsl connection even though I connect the dongle using mobile partner.
the only way to use the dongle is to disconnect the ethernet cable from the desktop.
so my question is, is there a way to make the pc prioritize the dongle over the adsl connection so it wouldn't use LAN internet when the dongle is connected?
I use my local area network to connect my nas, ps3, tv and pc so currently I cant stream from my pc when Im using the dongle because I have to unplug the ethernet cable.
Im using windows 7
 
Solution
Open "Network and sharing" from your PC, and configure your PC with static IP address, and don't fill in "Default gateway" field. This way, your PC will still able to talk to local devices, but will route all Internet thru the dongle.
