October 14, 200421 yr My computer has two actice internet connections, but one of them is limited bandwidth and have several useage restrictions.I need a firewall that can control access to BOTH connections, on a per-program basis.Foe example, "Blah.exe" can use connection 1 but never connection 2.I have Norton Internet Security 2003, but can't seem to find anything like that... The system is Windows Server 2003 (Enterprize Edition).
October 21, 200421 yr I don't think you can do that with a s/w firewall as it wouldn't be able to distinguish between NIC that program would use.Maybe a h/w one could.
October 24, 200421 yr Actually I think Microsoft may have just recently provided a solution to this question. Until recently I would say that selectively using connections per program would be very difficult if not imposiable. The new Windows Firewall built into service pack 2 allows you to set access to the internet on a per-program basis, all you need to do is use 2 NIC's in the same machine and set the access list for each connection based on which programs you want to access which ISP.
