Here is the question: I have two NIC's on the computer, one wireless and one wired. The wireless connection connects to a wireless modem (verizon mifi) and give me internet access. The wired modem connects to a Linksys router which is connected to my printer. When I have the wired connection plugged in, my computer cannot access the internet - it is apparently trying to use the wired NIC which has no internet access. When I unplug the network cable, then my computer does have internet access via the wireless nic. I am running Windows 7 on this computer.
Oddly, I am running Windows XP on another computer and I can leave the cable connected to that one and it causes to problem. That computer is able to access the printer and also the internet.
How do I configure computer number 1 above so that it knows which NIC to use depending on whether I am accessing the internet or trying to print?
