Multiple Network Devices

[adgish]

Hi Guys,

I have a computer with both wired and wireless ethernet connections.
I'd like to use the wired ethernet to connect to the internet and the
wifi to connect (through a router) with other computers that have their
own internet connections. The problem I'm having is that the computer
doesn't know which device to use to access a given IP address. For
example, it is using the wired ethernet to browse the web, so it
doesn't know to use the wireless to browse the workgroup.

Any ideas how I can get around this isssue?
Is there any way to manually type in which device to use when you type
an IP address into a browser (eg. \\WIRED-192.168.1.50)?

Thanks

It just doesn't work like that.

The "Internet" will always follow the path designated by the Default
Gateway. Routes for other things must be configured manually into the
Routing Table. There can only be one Default Gateway per machine. They can
have one or none, but not more than one.

You can only have 1 nic per subnet. (Which I assume is what you are trying to
do since you didn't give the ip addresses assigned to eac nic)

I meant to say "I assume your are using 2 nics on the same subnet"
