Hello,
I have recently installed Vista on my desktop PC which seems to be having Internet Connection problems. My Desktop PC has 2 Network Adaptors each connected to separate routers. I have one router (A) with IP 192.168.1.1 on Adaptor A and another router (B) with IP 192.168.2.1 on Adaptor B. The only router with Internet Access is router B. The problem I have is when I open internet explorer it seems to take a very long time to display the home page, and some times it times-out completely. If I open up a command prompt and type tracert www.google.com, the first line that comes up is 192.168.1.1 - This implies that it is trying to get to google via Router A which has no Internet access. I can only guess then it gives up after some time and tries the second Network Connection. Is there any way I can set Vista so that it looks for Internet Access on Router B first, and not Router A? I've tried various things such as changing the Network Binding order Under Advanced in Network Connections but this does not help. This did not happen under XP - XP seemed to know which Adaptor had Internet Access without a delay/timeout. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Sounds like routing issue. Posting the result of ipconfig /all here may
help. RoutingAnalysis 1: before changing the route table, any computers in 192.168.2.0 can access the resources on 10.0.0.0 network and the Internet because all traffic ... www.chicagotech.net/routing.htm -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Dan Jason" wrote in message ...

Ah nice one - the link pointed me in the direction of the route command - all
I had to do was: ROUTE DELETE 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 The multihomed PC can now access the internet with no delays, and I can still get access to all the local stuff on the LAN connected to the other adaptor - thanks for your help :-) "Robert L.

Robert / Dan, thanks for this conversation! I was facing similar issues with my two routers (WLAN - Internet / Ethernet - Printserver) and spent some time to find a solution on the internet... for anyone who reads & tries this and gets the error message "the requested operation requires elevation": 1) run the DOS Box (Command Prompt) in Admin Mode (right click - run as administrator) 2) type the command, e.g. ROUTE DELETE 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 192.168.178.1 (adjust gateway for your "local" router) thanks again - this thread was really helpful and the easiest I found for someone who hadn't used Vista since it came out...
