Windows 7 Dual Nic Routing


When more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the
one with the lowest metric value. By default, it automatically
assigns a metric value based on the network connection's rated speed:

To force Windows to use a specific network connection, assign a metric
value to each one, giving the lowest value to the desired connection:

1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right click the desired connection.
3. Click Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
4. Click Properties > Advanced.
5. Un-check "Automatic metric".
6. Enter a number between 1 and 9999 for the "Interface metric".
