Networking question

[Guest]

I have 2 nics in my computer at work. I need to have outlook use one internet
connection and everything else use the other one. How do I do this?

Question is not clear. However, I think it is simple as download one computer
outlook express and uninstall the outlook express in the other computer. That
way you can use one outlook in one computer.

Make sense?

Sorry for the lack of clarity. I have 2 internet connections comming into my
computer. I need to use one connection for my e-mail, which is on a doman
server. And the other connection for a parts invintory program. with both
enabled I cannot get my e-mail. but if I disable the connection for the parts
software I can get it. Is there a way to have outlook use the mail connection
and to have everything else use the other. When both are enabled the
connection for the parts software takes priority, and the e-mail one is prety
much canceled out.

It isn't possible to specify which connection a particular program
uses.

You can specify which connection to use to access a particular IP
address by defining a static route. So, if you know the IP address of
your E-mail server, you can define a route to it using the desired
connection.

I recommend consulting with your network administrator to set it up.
