Two DSL connections / networks, set one Intranet Only?

[prubin]

Hi all, I have two DSL connections and my computer has two NICS, one
connected to each DSL connection. Is there any way to force XP to use
ONE particular DSL connection for the internet, and never use the
other one for internet, ie intranet only?

Sincerely,
Paul Rubin

Hi
If you do not want to use the second connection to the Internet why it is
connected to the DSL?
If it is a combo Modem/Router and you need the Router part for the LAN, log
to it interface and disable the Modem Part.
Otherwise, as far as two Internet connections should work read this,

To avoid resolution to the Internet configure the second NIC with static IP
and do not put the Router's IP in the Gateway's TCP/IP configuration.

Hi Jack, we have two DSL circuits for redundancy, and there are two
different routers with separate IP addresses, so there's no conflict
between them. The issue is that I want my machine to access the
internet through ONLY ONE circuit, not the other. I don't want to have
to keep disconnecting from the other circuit, and I still want to
access the computers that are on the other circuit.

Hi
I assume that the second NIC that goes to the second Router gets their its
IP.
In many Routers you can block certain IPs from going to the Internet, if the
Router can do so block the second NIC IP.
Otherwise it is a matter of configuring manually the IP with bogus DNS IP.

Thanks again Jack, what do you recommend for 'bogus' DNS IP's ?
