Hey dudes.

Basically, I have 2 NICs, running Vista Ultimate 32bit.

I need a way to force windows to use one of the NICs for internet stuff (Firefox, IE), without disabling the other NIC (I need it for a LAN).

Windows keeps defaulting to the wrong NIC, but when I disable that NIC, it goes to the correct one.
I'd like to keep both enabled.

Thanks!

is each nic on a serperate network? 192.168.1.x and maybe 192.168.0.x
on the non internet side dont set a default gateway/dns.
Why do you need two network connections? Why not just do everything through the lan?
