Re: How to make Ping use a particular interface

Hi all,

I have two IP addresses on my laptop, 172.16.16.75 (wireless) and
192.168.1.95 (wired). 172.16.16.1 and 192.168.1.1 are the gateway IPs
respectively.

I want to ping yahoo.com using the wireless interface but the laptop
is pinging using wired interface. How can I force it to use wireless
interface?

I can not shutdown the wired interface because I am running a test
through that interface.

Here is the route command output:

Hi,

I got it working by removing the default route using the wired
interface. Now ping to yahoo.com uses wireless interface as I wished.

Thanks.
