Hi,
Ever since a recent reinstall of XP I have had problems when connecting to
two different routers - one wirelessly and one wired.
I have a Belkin wireless modem router for broadband to which I connect
wirelessly most of the time. I also have a Netgear print server router which
I use for printing - the location of printer and phone point are some
distance apart. I usually connect to the Netgear print server with cable.
The problem occurs when connecting a cable to the Netgear print server when
I already have a wireless connection established to the Belkin. Any internet
activity after that seems to try to go through the wired connection rather
than the wireless. I can sort this by running the diagnostic tool in IE7 but
would rather not have to do this every time.
My question is, is there a way of making sure that only traffic destined for
the print server goes through the wired connection? Or to put it another
way, how can I make XP look to the wireless connection for internet traffic
before trying the wired?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance.
