Multiple Ethernet Connections - How to force their use.

[Malcolm P]

When I use IE7 to connect to my work, via citrix, all other internet
connectivity is lost. I understand this is to do with split tunneling whose
concept I understand but not the technical details.

I have a 2nd wired ethernet connection to my adsl modem/router, so thought a
solution would be to allow IE7 to have exclusive use of one connection whist
allowing everything else (MSN, Firefox...etc) to use the other one. However
I cannot find a way of setting this up. Having searched on the forum I have
tried changing the metric of the connections so that the secondary connection
was set to 1 (for use by IE7) and the primary to 2 (everything else),
unfortuantely that had no effect.

Can anyone help with this please....thanks

You may want to modify the routing table. This search result may help.

Hi
No can do. However you can benefit from the two connections by using Dual
WAN Router.

Hi Robert & Jack,

Oh well, that's a shame, but thanks for your assistance. And here was me
thinking it was something obvious I was missing.
