Colonel Sanders Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oioldman Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight_dkn Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 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.
