Two nics, change access order in REGISTRY key??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I've had pretty good luck with setting an 'Interface metric' of 1 on the
preferred network, and higher value on the secondary network, such as 10 or
whatever. I think you can only go 99 though. I can't remember. This is in
addition to setting the order of access in Advanced Settings.

Don't get too excited if it doesn't work right away. Set it and leave it
alone for a day or two before deciding it doesn't work. Sometimes these
things mysteriously start working, hmmm...
