I have a Windows XP with two network cards installed.
First NIC connects directly to a broadband cable modem. All parameters are
setup via DHCP. The Windows XP firewall is blocking all "unwanted" access.
Second NIC connects to a router. The router is connected to a different
broadband cable modem. This NIC is hardcoded with a static IP and the
routers IP is set as the default gateway.
Both NICs are active and I can reach the gateway IP's of each NIC.
When I'm running client software on this PC, how do I know (or how can I
configure) which NIC is being used? Is there a way to state a preference?
