Dual Network IP's

I am running a Windows XP home computer with two network
cards. One network card is getting an IP address from a
server running RTS (A server I use at home) The other
network card is getting an IP address from DSL. Both
network lines need to be set up to do DHCP. The problem
that I have is that if I have the both network cards on
and they have both IP addresses, my internet keeps trying
to connect to through the RTS network card, and that does
not work. and if I try to run RTS (the program that
should connect through RTS network) it trys to connect
through the interent DSL network card, and that doesnt
work too. Is there any way I can specify that software
uses what network card? RTS to use RTS network card, DSL
use the DLS card?

Thanks
 
Remove the default gateway setting on the DHCP server on the RTS network.
You should only have one active default gateway. In this case you want the
DG on the DSL connected NIC so you can access the Internet.
