One is assigned an IP from DHCP, and one is set manually. They are different subnets, so for example:<br /><br /> NIC 1:<br /> IP: 10.36.8.<br /> Subnet: 255.255.254.0<br /> Gateway: 10.36.8.1<br /> etc...<br /><br /> NIC 2:<br /> IP: 192.168.0.1<br /> Subnet: 255.255.255.0<br /><br /> The problem I have is this. When both adapters are enabled the internet doesn't work. It appears the computer is trying to use NIC 2, if I set a gateway address for NIC 2 would that fix this issue? I see this on multiple PC's and it's pissing me off!</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41840.1&return_msg=41840.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41840.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41840_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_41840_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">22 Nov 2016 22:59</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Ken (SHIELDSIT) <span><span class="image post_unread" title="Unread Message"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 4</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.2">41840.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.1#a41840_1" target="_self">41840.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> What OS?<br /><br /> Linux: <a href="https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Two_Default_Gateways_on_One_System">https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Two_Default_Gateways_on_One_System</a><br /><br /> Windows: <span class="emoticon e_happycry" title=":'D"><span class="e__">:'D</span></span><div class="edit_text">EDITED: 22 Nov 2016 23:00 by KOSWIX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41840.2&return_msg=41840.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41840.2"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41840_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_41840_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Serg (NUKKLEAR)<span class="message_time">23 Nov 2016 08:14</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Ken (SHIELDSIT) <span><span class="image post_unread" title="Unread Message"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 4</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.3">41840.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.1#a41840_1" target="_self">41840.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Presumably only one of the NICs is connected to a network which has Internet access?<br /><br /> The GUI way is to go into TCP/IPv4 Properties, Advanced, and set a default gateway with a metric lower than any other default gateways (Windows will prefer the default gateway with the lowest metric). If you're still a bit stuck, do a "route print" and show us/me - via Hangouts if you want it less public.<br /><br /> If your machine is configured to use a DNS server on one of the local LANs, you'll need to make sure it's reachable.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41840.3&return_msg=41840.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41840.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41840_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_41840_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Monsoir (PILOTDAN)<span class="message_time">25 Nov 2016 10:45</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Serg (NUKKLEAR) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 Nov 2016 09:06"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 4</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.4">41840.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.1#a41840_3" target="_self">41840.3</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I'd say get rid of the DFGW completely on the second NIC.
