TWO NIC cards, only want one to access internet
LockedHellow
I have two NIC’s in a home threater PC. One is wireless which is what I use for internet. The other NIC is gigabit wired directly to a file/print/web/ftp/dns/dhcp server running server 2008 20ft away in a closet which is where i stream all movies from. i have not been able to stream movies reliably over wireless.
The problem is that when both NICs are enabled the computer is attempting to reach the internet through the wired NIC first before the wireless.
I know its doing this because when both NIC’s are active any internet related connection is first delayed. When the wired connection is turned off there is no such delay.
For instance. When both NIC’s are enabled and i try to navigate to a website a 10-15 second delay happens before a page is displayed. This happens with each link click. There is no such delay when the Wired NIC is disabled. The computer is using the wireless automatically.
both NIC’s are on different subnets. default class C for wireless and default class B for wired nic
How can I get rid of this delay?
