I have 2 connections through from two routers,one to remote site PPP connections and another is internet connection.
Is that mean I need to put in 2 gateway IP addresses of the 2 routers IP addresses on my TCP/IP setting on my WIndows OS?

create a static route with -p to make it permanent route and create a filter on ppp connection to allow only packets destined for that particular network ID with a metric of 1

set your gatway address on your W/S to that of your internet connection so that anything other than packets bound for your remote site will be routed through the Internet gateway IP

let us know if all goes to plan

You definitely have to put in the Internet IP address of the routers so as to be able to access the internet and the PPP router for access to the PPP sites. If your router has an alternate IP address, then this should be the secondary IP address forthe Windows IP stack. The no.2 gateway address, if used for internet as well, should be the secondary, but only if it is also used for internet access.

You only need one gateway for each router directed area. The subrouting can be controlled through the router programming.
