Route add does not change routing path
Hi,
I have a portable with 2 NIC: 1 wired and 1 wireless. Both are working fine and each is connected to a different network. I want to go to Internet via the Wireless NIC. But Route print shows that metric for Wired NIC is lower. So I use route add command (as in XP). Route Print shows a new permanent route below but the routing path is NOT modified. When I use Tracert, I see that to connect to Internet I still use the wired NIC. It seems that Vista has something like "auto route discover" that gives priority to wired network. Have you information about it? Thanks -- ChaChaCha

You could try this...
Network Connections... pick connection... Properties... select e.g. IPv4... Advanced... and uncheck the Automatic Metric and type a number of your own... lower number is higher priority... this is how I persuaded Vista to use the 1Gb/s LAN in preference to the wireless when both are connected...

You right. This is a first solution. I used it. Thanks to you.
But, basicaly, this lowers the metric for the interface and not for a specific route. It means that, e.g., when I connect at home, where I want to go to Internet via my wired NIC, it will first use the Wifi... My question remains: The good old "Route add" command (as in XP and as described in the Vista Help) does not work. Why? Has Vista something like "auto routing" or is it a bug??
