Vectorferret Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Ok, I have two ethernet ports on my computer. One is connected to the internet (have tried both directly and through a router). The second (Ethernet 2) has no internet, just LAN connection. I can only access the internet if I disable or unplug my LAN ethernet connection. As soon as it is plugged in, Windows uses that, and that exclusively for internet instead, and as I have no internet connection on that network it doesn't work. Windows is identifying it as Local Only, which makes it even more annoying that it tried to use that for internet. How can I force Windows to only use the internet ethernet port for IP's outside the 192.168.x.x range? Thank you in advance.Edit - It's also trying DNS through the LAN. It might even work if I just get it to lookup DNS on the internet port. Edited December 25, 2008 by Vectorferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeball Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Do you even have another network beyond the 192.168.0X subnet? If not why do you have a gateway listed on that interface?Try removing that and see if it helps.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem, if it's connected than Windows tries to do DNS off of it which doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Set a Manual DNS server in there too of 192.168.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorferret Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Still didn't work. It tries to DNS on the 192.168.0.1 which has DHCP but no DNS (there is none on that network). Ended up re-wireing my network to solve the problem. Boxing day running cable, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
