2 Ethernet - 1 internet, 1 LAN, Windows tries to use LAN for internet

[Vectorferret]

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.

What Ip address, Subnet mask and Default gateway do both interfaces have?

Thanks

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

Now running without a gateway (manual rather than DHCP configured, there is still a DHCP server on the LAN). Same problem, if it's connected than Windows tries to do DNS off of it which doesn't work.

Set a Manual DNS server in there too of 192.168.0.1

[Vectorferret]

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.
