Force Vista to use one internet connection instead of another
I have an unusual setup. I live in a rural area, and I have 2 internet
connections. One is a satellite internet connection that I use for browsing the internet (it has high latency, but good download speed) and downloading files, and the other is a low speed (144) DSL connection that I use for gaming (low latency, but terrible for downloading). The DSL connection is connected directly to my Vista PC, while the Satellite is connected to a Windows Media Center PC. The Satellite connection is shared, and is used by other computers in my house, but the DSL is not. Because I share files between the 2 computers, and I have them set up to use one mouse and keyboard, the 2 PCs are networked together. The problem I have is that Vista will sometimes switch from using the DSL connection to using the shared Satellite connection. I want it to use the DSL connection only. Is there a way to set up Vista so that it will use the DSL connection for internet access, and will use the connection to the other PC for local access only?
